Ayr, Saturday
Coral Scottish Grand National Handicap Chase (Grade 3) 4m110y, 5yo+
Quote:
MERIGO, winner of Scottish Grand National in 2010 and runner-up last year, proved his liking for the Ayr marathon once more when battling to a hard-fought victory.
The well backed 15-2 shot, trained by Andrew Parker, vied with Auroras Encore (25-1) from three out in a thrilling duel before snatching back his crown by a head in the shadow of the post.
King Fontaine, a 40-1 shot, was third, while Ballyfitz, sent off at 33-1, came home fourth.

Newbury, Saturday
Aon Greenham Stakes (Group 3) 7f, 3yo colts & geldings
Quote:
CASPAR NETSCHER was driven out by jockey Shane Kelly to defeat Boomerang Bob and odds-on favourite Bronterre at Newbury.
The race had been robbed of some of its intrigue on Friday when leading Qipco 2,000 Guineas hope Top Offer and Tales Of Grimm were withdrawn due to the going leaving five to go to post.
