'This is his target' - two runners aimed at Scottish Grand National on Saturday

After a really successful week, I'm hoping to have two runners with chances in the Coral Scottish Grand National on Saturday.

Novices often do well in this andMajor Dundee has won two of his three races over fences. I was very pleased with his second at Newbury last time as he stayed on well and looked as though this test would suit him.

Although this is a big step up for him, I hope he'll run well. He's also in the three-mile novice chase but this is his target, as it is forFidux, provided the ground is good – he couldn't run over four miles on a soft surface.
