center] [TABLE] [TR] [TD] Junior: Left in Scottish National JUNIOR AMONG 35 IN SCOTTISH NATIONAL Junior has been left in the Coral Scottish Grand National on Saturday after his early exit at Aintree. David Pipe's charge had his whole season built around the John Smith's Grand National but came down at the second fence and would carry top weight at Ayr. West End Rocker, another early Aintree casualty, is also still in the mix for Alan King. King could also run the novice Walkon. Benny Be Good, Knockara Beau, Fruity O'Rooney and Galaxy Rock are also towards the head of the weights. Paul Nicholls, looking to follow up the victory of Neptune Collonges, runs ante-post favourite Harry The Viking, part-owned by Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson. Matt Sheppard's Ikorodu Road, winner of two decent races recently, is another leading fancy to stand his ground. Lie Forrit, 2010 winner Merigo and Eider Chase victor Portrait King are also among the 35 left in. Harry The Viking is 6-1 favourite with the sponsors, Coral. "Trainer Paul Nicholls enjoyed success in the biggest National of them all on Saturday, and we make Harry The Viking clear favourite to give the stable further big race success this weekend," said Coral's David Stevens. "However, opposition to the favourite, co-owned by Sir Alex Ferguson, is headed by the 2010 winner and last year's runner-up, Merigo, and Portrait King, who proved his liking for a marathon trip with his Eider Chase victory." Coral Scottish National - sponsors bet: 6-1 Harry The Viking, 9-1 Merigo, Portrait King, 10-1 Ikorodu Road, Knockara Beau, 14-1 Galaxy Rock, West End Rocker, 16-1 Fruity O'Rooney, Lie Forrit, 20-1 Auroras Encore, Benny Be Good, Lively Baron, Mostly Bob, Walkon, 25-1 bar.

Re: Key Race - Scottish Grand National I quite like Abbeybraney at 40-1 with the sponsors. He just missed out on the Grand National but looks well treated to run a nice race in this off a low weight. At 11 years of age he's had fair experience over fences and jumped well when finishing 6 lengths third to Master of the Hall in his prep race at Kelso. He was rated 142 when trained by Howard Johnson so is certainly well in off that mark. He's ran two nice races for his new trainer G Bewley and I think over a longer trip when fully would up he will give an even better showing. I suspect Ryan Mania will pilot and he's a very talented young jockey who has proved profitable to follow this season. 40's could look big on the day.
