Quick Tips
⭐ Best Bet: Chasingouttheblues
⚡ Main Danger: Montregard
🎯 Value/Each Way: Promontory
Race Preview
The Scottish Grand National is always a brutal stamina test, and this year’s renewal looks wide open with several improving stayers lining up.
Chasingouttheblues fits the profile perfectly. He’s been thriving over 3 miles this season, winning multiple races, and everything about his running style suggests that stepping up to nearly 4 miles could unlock further improvement. He stays strongly, jumps soundly, and arrives in top form — a major plus in a race like this.
Montregard is a fascinating contender. He’s an up-and-coming stayer who could still be well handicapped if he truly sees out this trip. His profile is that of a horse still improving, and he’s one of the more interesting upside plays in the field.
King Of Answers brings strong Cheltenham form, finishing second in the NH Chase. That form reads very well in the context of this race, though his jumping can come under pressure late on — a concern over such an extreme trip.
Kim Roque is another to note after finishing well from off the pace in the Kim Muir. He shapes like a stayer and could be finishing stronger than most.
Promontory is the value angle. His recent win over 3m4f at Leopardstown showed a big step forward, and if he continues progressing, he could outrun his odds significantly.
Value Angle
Promontory makes plenty of each-way appeal. He’s proven at staying trips and arrives here off a strong staying performance, suggesting this test could suit him even better.
