The Welsh Grand National is one of the highlights of the horse racing schedule during the Christmas period.
A 3m6½f slog through the mud at Chepstow is likely to await the runners and, despite being one of the longer races on the calendar, grabbing an early place at the head of the field is usually crucial to success.
Nassalam romped to a 34l victory in last season’s renewal, but the big success came at a cost as the handicapper hit the gelding with a 16lbs rise in the handicap and his form figures since make for less-then-stellar reading.
Welsh Grand National odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details for this year’s renewal are below.
