ONE of the pleasing parts of the historic Willie Mullins Grand National win and the Scottish National to follow last week was that it put different owners in the spotlight.

Similar to last season when the two big handicaps, the Scottish National and the Bet365 Gold Cup were won by Macdermott (Gallagher Bloodstock Limited) and Minella Cocconer (David Bobbett), the 2025 winners were in ownership outside the big four.
