Run since the mid-1800s, the Scottish Grand National always attracts a strong field of runners and this year is no different. A total of 23 horses from all over the UK will travel to Ayr in the hope of landing the $260,000 prize, including last year’s winner Macdermott.

The seven-year-old gelding is one of six horses trained by Mullins that will be bidding for success in Scotland. The former jockey trained the first three home in the Grand National at Aintree last week and will be hoping for a similar result this Saturday.

The Mullins-trained Chosen Witness is the favorite ahead of Macdermtt, while another of his stable, Captain Cody, is seen as a potential winner.
