How Unlucky...another few yards and....

Trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies claimed a third Scottish Grand National triumph as Hello Bud made all the running over an extended four miles to win at Ayr.

The 12-1 shot, ridden by Paddy Brennan, held off a late charge from champion jockey Tony McCoy on Gone To Lunch (12-1).

Out The Black (12-1) and Chiaro (10-1), both trained by Philip Hobbs, were third and fourth respectively.

King Barry kept Hello Bud for company in the early stages, while Out The Black, Coe and Brooklyn Brownie were all close up.

Arteea was pulled up in the rear before the field went out on the final circuit, with That's Rhythm a faller.

Hello Bud fended off all challengers up front and though Gone To Lunch came with a late flourish, McCoy's mount was half a length down at the line.
