Scottish Grand National 2026 horse numbers and jockey colours | Racing | Sport

1. Blaze The Way (Danny Mullins): This eight-year-old gelding will be seen in drak blue silks with lighter blue chevrons and stars on the sleeve and cap. Trained by Margaret Mullins, he enters the race following a respectable seventh-place finish at Cheltenham.

2. Quebecois (Harry Cobden): Trained by Paul Nicholls, this horse carries royal blue and white hoops, with red sleeves and cap. He is currently among the market favourites after finishing a strong third at the Cheltenham Festival last month.

3. King Of Answers (Derek Fox): Representing the yard of Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore, this runner wears purple silks with a green star and bands on the sleeves. He arrives with significant momentum after a runner-up performance in the National Hunt Chase.

4. Isaac Des Obeaux (Sam Twiston-Davies): Another strong contender from the Paul Nicholls stable, he will carry white silks with red-dotted sleeves and a blue cap. He is a proven marathon stayer, having recently triumphed in the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter.

5. Our Power (Danny Gilligan): Trained by Sam Thomas, this veteran campaigner wears the white and black silks with green-and-white checked-pattern sleeves. He has plenty of experience in these high-profile handicaps and finished third in this specific race last year.

6. Road To Home (Patrick Mullins): Running for the dominant Willie Mullins yard, this horse wears dark blue silks with brown chevrons. He was a narrow second in the Kim Muir and is the primary hope for Mullins to secure another Scottish National title.

7. Herakles Westwood (James Bowen): This nine-year-old is trained by Warren Greatrex and carries blue-and-white starred colours. While he struggled in his most recent start, his New Year’s Day victory at Cheltenham suggests he has the quality to compete.

8. Ask Brewster (Shane Cotter): Trained by Cath Williams, this progressive front-runner will be easy to spot in blue-and-white striped silks and starred-orange sleeves. He is in the form of his life, having recently won the Kim Muir at Cheltenham after a determined battle up the hill.

9. Katate Dori (Dylan Johnston): This Sam Thomas-trained runner sports dark blueand white hoops with a spiralled-pattern cap. Although he was slightly disappointing in his last outing at Kempton, his earlier form shows he is a capable performer over staying trips.

10. Stolen Silver (Olive Nicholls): Trained by Georgina Nicholls, this eleven-year-old carries red silks complete with a white star and a cap of reverse colours. He is one of the more experienced horses in the lineup, though he faces a steep challenge given his recent lack of form.

11. Famous Bridge (Sean Quinlan): Representing the Nicky Richards yard, this runner sports green-and-yellow squares with a white cap and sleeves. He is a local favourite who typically performs well on the softer ground often found at the Ayr circuit.

12. Montregard (Stan Sheppard): Trained by Tom Lacey, this horse carries emerald green and yellow hoops. He is a highly progressive young chaser who won a competitive handicap at Ascot earlier this February.

13. Maximilian (William Maggs): This ten-year-old is trained by Donald McCain and carries purple silks with a black cap and black chevroned sleeves. Despite a long time off the track previously, his consistency in limited starts over fences makes him an intriguing outsider.

14. Gabbys Cross (Sean Bowen): Trained by Nick Scholfield, this eleven-year-old gelding competes in white and light green silks, with white stars on the sleeves. He has run well on his last two starts and carries the experience of having competed in the Aintree Grand National previously.

15. Kim Roque (JJ Slevin): Trained by Joseph O’Brien, the race favourite wears white silks with blue diamonds and a red cap. He is exceptionally well-weighted for this test and looked every bit a marathon stayer when placing at the Cheltenham Festival.

16. Collectors Item (Jonjo O’Neill Jr): This nine-year-old represents the Jonjo O’Neill stable and carries purple silks with pink belts on the sleeves. While his odds are long, he has a history of performing well in large-field handicap chases when the rhythm of the race suits.

17. Git Maker (Jonathan Burke): Trained by Jamie Snowden, this stayer wears white silks with a large red V-pattern and red stars on the sleeves. He is particularly effective on soft ground and comes here fresh from a podium finish in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter.

18. Kap Vert (Sean Houlihan): This six-year-old is one of the youngest in the field and is trained by the partnership of Philip Hobbs and Johnson White. He wears white silks with brown belts and recently proved his stamina with a victory at Taunton.

19. Promontory (Donagh Meyler): Trained by Sarah Joanna Connell, this Irish horse sports black-and-white checked silks with yellow sleeves. He arrives in Scotland in peak condition following a career-best win in the Dublin National at Leopardstown.

20. Chasingouttheblues (Jamie Hamilton): Trained by Mark Walford, this seven-year-old wears red and yellow quartered silks, with yellow stars on red selves and a red-spotted yellow cap. He has won three of his last four starts and is considered a dangerous “dark horse” given his rapid rate of improvement.

21. Magna Sam (Ciaran Gethings): The veteran of the field at twelve years old, he is trained by Alastair Ralph and wears green silks with yellow diamonds and black-striped sleeves. He will look to use his jumping experience to navigate the 27 fences at Ayr.
