Johnny fancies a 16-1 shot trained by Willie Mullins in the Scottish National - but DJ has gone even bigger with a 25-1 tip!
Upping The Ante stars Johnny Dineen and David Jennings provide their best bets for Scottish Grand National day

How did Aintree go for you both?
Johnny Dineen: Good. I won a few quid, but I have to confess I did a fair bit of damage at Naas on the Thursday. I didn't have a huge amount of bets over the three days of Liverpool but the horse I fancied most for the whole meeting was Salvator Mundi so it was nice to see him score with a bit of a swagger. That one winner papered over a few of the few cracks at Naas. The weather was superb, as was the racing, so I thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.
David Jennings: Not too bad at all. My main fancies on each day were Gidleigh Park, Salvator Mundi and Kalif Du Berlais. Two of the three won. Once again the Grand National was a tale of woe. My record is nothing short of embarrassing. Three Card Brag got the dreaded seal of approval from me this year and he was bowling along blissfully until somebody told him I backed him. Once he heard that news, he just stopped. It is one race I can never figure out and I'm getting worse at it, not better.
Who wins the Scottish Grand National?
DJ: You'll be pleased to hear I have a much better record in the Scottish National compared to the Aintree equivalent (wouldn't be hard!), going back to the likes of Paris Pike and Beshabar. I like Wiseguy this year and 25-1 is a bargain. He's an unexposed stayer, who should be really suited by the track and the trip. Plus, a mark of 129 is surely well short of his capabilities in a marathon.
