The Scottish National is the biggest National Hunt race held in Scotland, this race has always being run in the period between the Aintree marathon and the Betfred Gold Cup, formerly the Whitbread, which is the traditional finale to the steeple chasing season. Owners and trainers are often prepared to run horses in the National and the Sandown race, but few will think about going for all three.

Unfortunately, the Scottish version is often seen as a consolation prize for horses balloted out of the Grand National, or for those who fall early at Aintree. Red Rum completed a unique double in 1974 winning the Aintree Grand National and the Scottish Grand National.
