Welsh National Form

Assessing the form of the Coral Welsh National can be very tricky as the race comes quite early in the season. Not all the leading contenders in the race have been seen yet this season which it makes this race notoriously difficult to call but as always there are some pointers to take into account.

There are many novices in the race where it is impossible to say whether they will be able to negotiate the fences and stay the long trip on likely soft ground.

The Tother One

The Tother One is likely to be the leading Welsh National contender from Champion Trainer Paul Nicholls along with What A Friend and he looks an ideal type for the trip and ground. On his only run so far this season he came in a good second place at Wincanton over just over 3 miles on good to soft ground and should improve for that run when he arrives at Chepstow. He had another run early in December at Cheltenham when he once again came in second after a briilliant ride from Ruby Walsh, he never looked like he was travelling well but had enough in him to almost get to the winner, The Package.

Le Beau Bai

Le Beau Bai has shot up the Welsh Grand National Odds in recent weeks following a cracking win at Chepstow at the start of December and looks to be in good shape for a crack at the big race. He won the freebets.co.uk Sports Betting Handicap Chase at Chepstow over 3 miles on heavy ground which should be ideal preparation for a Welsh National assault. On that form he will be tough to beat and by all accounts he loves the heavy ground which we are likely to see on the 27th December so is one to keep an eye on. Connections are said to be excited about his chances at Chepstow and are expecting a good performance from the horse, if he does run well then he will go very close.

Welsh National Form Considerations

1. Consider all entries that have run over the Chepstow Racecourse as it is a very undulating course and this does not suit many horses as a lot of horses will only show their best form on flat tracks.
2. Consider all horses that have run in the Welsh National the year before especially those who performed well.
3. Make sure you look at horses that love the soft ground.
4. It is best if your selection has had one outing in the build up to the race as race fitness is key.
