Welsh Grand National 2022 betting

Welsh Grand National odds are on paddypower.com and prices for the leading contenders can be seen on our snazzy widgets below.

Venetia Williams’ Quick Wave has emerged as the favourite after storming to victory in the London National at Sandown earlier this month and is officially 9lbs well in at the weights.

The Galloping Bear – first past the post in last season’s Grand National Trial before being disqualified – is next in the betting and has plenty of form in the book over marathon trips with wins in his other chase starts.

Munster National and Troytown scorer The Big Dog is also prominent in our market with the nine-year-old gelding seeking a third big win on the spin.
