That will make the Coral Welsh National a mighty slog but they should not be a problem for lightly-raced WILD WEST WIND, who won the trial for Wales’s biggest steeplechase. The others I like in the race include Chase The Spud and seasonal debutant Mysteree, trained by my son Michael. This track will suit his main rival Special Tiara more than my selection and the Irish raider has won this race for the last two years. But Politologue is the rising star of the division. Some rain is forecast overnight and if conditions do become a little more testing, Paul Nicholls-trained Politologue has the stamina to cope.
