Racing: Scottish option for Malta

Cyfor Malta could be the surprise package in the Scottish National on April 20, a race in which champion trainer Martin Pipe has 12 possibles.

The Nicholas-Hayne handler last won the Scottish National in 1993 with Run for Free, and as well as Cyfor Malta entries this time include leading Grand National hope Blowing Wind and Stayers’ Hurdle flop Deano’s Beeno, who has not been over fences since his novice days.
