Scottish Grand National 2025: A Showdown at Ayr
The Scottish Grand National 2025 is shaping up to be a thrilling spectacle! Day two at Ayr Racecourse promises high stakes, with the UK trainers' championship hanging in the balance. Willie Mullins, the Irish powerhouse, is bringing his formidable team, aiming for a second championship win. But Dan Skelton is determined to put up a fight, making this year's race a must-watch.
Race Day Breakdown: Ayr's Thrilling Eight
This article provides a detailed preview of all eight races on Scottish Grand National Day, featuring expert selections and odds from leading online bookmakers. We'll explore the top contenders and highlight the key factors that could influence the outcome.
Key Races and Predictions
The Scottish Grand National Handicap Chase (3:35 PM) is the main event. While last year's winner, Macdermott, returns, Captain Cody (12/1 e/w) emerges as a strong contender, benefiting from the experience of jockey Harry Cobden. Olympic Man (9/1 e/w) is another horse to watch, but his jumping consistency needs improvement. Magna Sam (20/1), a proven performer at Ayr, could surprise the favorites.
Other races offer exciting prospects. In the CPMS Novices' Champion Handicap Chase (1:43 PM), Loughglynn (9/2) is a well-handicapped horse with a strong chance. The Coral Scottish Champion Hurdle (2:15 PM) features Bunting (10/1 e/w), who has shown promise, alongside the impressive Kabral Du Mathan (7/2).
