Just like last year, Willie Mullins arrives at Ayr mob-handed in the Scottish Grand National of 2025 with six of the 23 declared runners. The master of Closutton again chases the British Trainers’ Championship after landing the Aintree equivalent last week.<\/strong><\/p>\n More than that, Mullins mounts filled five of the first seven spots on Merseyside. He is out for more Ayr glory with the half-dozen strong team led by last year’s winner Macdermott and Chosen Witness, another who scored at this meeting 12 months ago.<\/p>\n Also representing Closutton are a couple more down the field in the 2024 edition. Both fourth and sixth home Klarc Kent and Spanish Harlem re-oppose. Olympic Man and Captain Cody complete the Mullins sextet.<\/p>\n While last season’s race is a key piece of form for the Scottish Grand National in 2025, there are other lines punters should consider. Plenty of horses that graced the Cheltenham Festival also line-up at Ayr.<\/p>\n These include runners who contested the National Hunt Chase and Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup. Ultimately, Scotland’s equivalent of Aintree sadly serves a sort of consolation race for those who didn’t make the cut into the world’s most famous steeplechase.<\/p>\n That doesn’t mean there aren’t connections in the field that haven’t had this race in mind for some time, however. It’s not all about Mullins either with other Irish trainers and the home team saddling their own hopes.<\/p>\n It’s a fascinating puzzle for punters on horse racing betting sites<\/a> where traders naturally run scared of the scattergun approach by the leading stable. We’ve our experts on hand with detailed analysis of the runners they like most for the Ayr showpiece and why.<\/p>\nLast Year’s Top 6 Sure to Be Involved in Scottish Grand National 2025<\/h2>\n
