Ayr's Scottish Grand National meeting and Newbury's Greenham meeting take centre stage. Here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster.

Hasthing has showed improved form since going over fences this season and a pair of wins at Windsor were backed up with a staying on 4th of 11 at Ascot in February over 3m. Connections stepped him up to 3m6f for a handicap at the Cheltenham Festival and Hasthing was noted staying on well when he fell at the last fence. He looks a horse that will be suited by today's marathon distance and provided his jumping holds up, he could be a threat to all at the finish of the race. Hasthing looks like a horse that is better than his current handicap mark of 133 over fences and if he can handle the hustle and bustle of today's race he should go close. Hasthing rates a 3 star each way Pick.
