FORM RATINGS Included in the form guide below each horse is a form rating, calculated from the horse’s previous performances, taking into account a number of variables such as finishing position, distance won/beaten by, horses beaten/beaten by, weight carried, race time (compared with the standard time), going allowance, number of days since that performance, etc.

Horses which have not raced will not have a form rating, as may some horses which have raced but not recently in Britain or their performances to-date have not yet merited a rating.

MIGHTY THUNDER WAS THE WINNER OF THE CORAL SCOTTISH GRAND NATIONAL ON SATURDAY, 18TH APRIL, 2021.

HOW TO BET 1.

Check with the bookmaker when placing a bet, the Place Terms. Place Betting, not all on course bookmakers accept each way bets, ie. for a win or a place.

5.

EACH WAY BETTING

TIME

DISTANCES

SOFT RISK created an excellent impression when landing a bumper at this track in May, travelling strongly before putting his race to bed in a matter of strides. The Nicky Richards-trained gelding may take some stopping if translating that form to hurdles and can get the better of Muhtamar, who showed improvement when finishing second over course and distance last month. Scots Poet proved a different proposition when winning a Stratford bumper in August, in a first-time hood and tongue-tie, and the gelded son of Yeats can also feature.

BE THE DIFFERENCE was fancied to get off the mark on his latest start when runner-up at Wetherby after being carried badly left by Flexi Furlough (third), who reopposes, and this could be the ideal place for Philip Kirby’s gelding to go one better. The aforementioned Flexi Furlough is likely to be competitive once again having placed on her last three starts, while others to note are Flood Defence and Go Bob Go.

BILL BAXTER may have bumped into one on his first outing over hurdles at Ffos Las and with improvement expected, he can recoup the losses. Fourth in a Listed bumper at Newbury back in February, the five-year-old brings a solid level of form to this contest and he is preferred to the likes of Readysteadybeau and point-to-point recruit Rowdy Rustler. There wasn’t much to separate Okavango Delta (second) and Half Track (fourth) when they met at Kelso, and both are entitled to be on the premise here.

Pammi takes a drop in both class and trip, and this might be a good opportunity for her to add to the three victories she has recorded this year. However, her stablemate SARVI catches the eye as she might be well handicapped after a solid performance at Musselburgh. That run looks a strong piece of form in the context of this race, so she gets the vote. The four-year-old Topkapi Star is another for the shortlist, as she will have a live chance if she can build on her last start over hurdles at Stratford.

Preference is for ANIMORE, who has put together a fine record over fences in recent months with top three finishes in each of her last four outings. Narrowly denied over C&D last time out, Iain Jardine’s mare is taken to gain compensation here with conditions in her favour. The Olly Murphy stable can do no wrong at present and African Dance figures high in calculations off what looks a manageable mark on his chase debut.

Plenty of appealing types in this contest and the one of most interest is GLITTERING LOVE, who shaped well over hurdles when returning from a break eight days ago. The nine-year-old can build on that run now switching to fences and may be capable of adding to his three course-and-distance wins. The lightly-raced Finawn Bawn is a fascinating contender now switching to handicaps and can go well on his return to the track where he won his bumper, while Dragonfruit stepped up when winning at Bangor last time and is also worth considering.

Geordies Dream made a winning debut at Kelso in March when staying on well and Pauline Robson’s gelding has to be respected, despite giving 7lb and upwards to his rivals. That said, he may struggle to get the better of CARNFUNNOCK, who shaped with plenty of promise when third in a Punchestown bumper in the spring and a repeat of that performance could make him tough to beat.

Paddock Cottage and Allanah’s Boy are feared most of the remainder.
