Bailey considers Ayr for Longshanks

Longshanks could make a quick reappearance in the Gala Casinos Daily Record Scottish Grand National next weekend after his pleasing performance in the John Smith’s And Spar Topham Chase last Friday.

Kim Bailey had wanted to run the gelding in the Aintree version of the Grand National, but he did not quite make the cut and had to go for consolation over the same fences in the Topham.
