The 2008 Scottish Grand National is set to boast a powerful field of top national hunt runners this year. A massive 110 entries have been submitted to the 2008 Scottish Grand National, due to be run at Ayr on April 19th.

The talent participating in the 2008 renewal of the Scottish Grand National includes 2008 Grand National favourites Cloudy Lane and Mr. Pointment, Welsh National winner Miko De Beauchene and last week’s winner of the Midlands Grand National, Himalayan Trail.

The profile and popularity of the Scottish Grand National has soared in recent years, and at present the Ayr spectacular ranks as the fifth most popular national hunt race of the season. Interest in the event has seen a bustle of activity in the Scottish Grand National betting markets.

Miko De Beauchene heads the Scottish Grand National betting markets at odds of 8/1. Noir et Vert is second best priced at 11-1, with Cheltenham Festival winner Albertas Run third in the 2008 Scottish Grand National betting odds table at 13/1, a price shared by Grand National favourite Cloudy Lane.
