Joe Tizzard Blog | Coral Scottish Grand National

11 Apr 2025
Coral Racing Ambassador, Joe Tizzard, previews his two runners at Ayr on Saturday, including Rock My Way in the Coral Scottish Grand National.

13:43 Ayr – Lord Of Thunder

Lord Of Thunder did disappoint me at Cheltenham, although I think we ended up trying to chase a Grade One horse [Caldwell Potter] in a handicap, and we just overcooked him. He won well at Newbury the time before, that was over almost three miles so I don’t think this trip will be a problem, and it looks a nice final option for this season.

15:35 Ayr | Coral Scottish Grand National – Rock My Way

Rock My Way ran a cracker to finish second in the National Hunt Chase at the Festival, he got the trip really well, and I think he’s improved physically at home since then. It’s a hot race, as you’d expect, but I’m looking forward to running him, he’s in here off a nice weight, and if he gets the extra couple of furlongs, which I think he will, he should have an each-way chance at least. Runners in these big races are what we want, and I think he’s a young horse on the up, and this is a great race for him.
