Scottish Grand National 2008

The Scottish Grand National is always the last of the 'Nationals' to be staged in the jump racing season. Run in mid-April, only weeks after the Grand National, the race can often throw up plenty of clues with a lot of the runners having already been seen out in the Welsh, Irish, Midlands or English versions earlier that season.Not all Nationals are run over the same trip and although the Aintree showpiece is contested over the furthest trip of 4 miles the others vary slightly. Staged at Ayr racecourse the Scottish version is run over 4miles and with conditions often on the testing side it goes without saying that when picking a winner it's best to have bundles of stamina on your side
