How to Bet on the Scottish Grand National: Free Bets and Offers

After the drama of the Grand National last weekend, it's the turn of the Scottish Grand National at Ayr and here is how you can bet on the latest massive race of the year.

Nick Rockett clinched the honours at Aintree last weekend in a brilliant 1-2-3 for trainer Willie Mullins with I Am Maximus and Grangelcare West finishing in second and third.

Mullins is looking for more Grand National joy this weekend north of the border with Chosen Witness the current favourite to home the title and the £200,000 prize pot at Ayr Racecourse.

As ever, there are so many ways to be on this standout race today, so here are all the details on the betting, including odds, start times and the free bets you can sign up for to use on the horse racing.
