The 21-horse field for the Scottish Grand National stands confirmed for Saturday’s highlight at Ayr. Trainer Willie Mullins, riding high after I Am Maximus’s English Grand National victory last weekend, enters a lone contender, Road To Home. Mullins eyes a third straight win in this prestige event, following triumphs with Macdermott and Captain Cody in the prior two years.
Top Contenders Lead the Charge
King Of Answers tops the betting market, handled by the Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore team. Strong challengers include Kim Roque under Joseph O’Brien’s guidance and Quebecois, who secured second at Cheltenham. Owner JP McManus pursues more success post-I Am Maximus with Montregard in the lineup.
Officials finalized the field Thursday morning, setting the stage for an intense battle.
