2009 Welsh Grand National Odds

The Welsh Grand National is one of the feature races of a hectic schedule of horse racing fixtures in Britain and Ireland and runs at Chepstow racecourse on Monday 28th December. Always guaranteed to be a competitive field, this year’s renewal looks no different and the bookmakers are betting 6/1 the field.

Le Beau Bai heads the field after seemingly looking thrown in at the weights following his recent win at the course after the weights for the race were announced. He romped to a 21 length victory earlier this month off a mark of 139 and is still rated just 143 in this field and is sure to run a big race as the 6/1 favourite with bet365, provided he avoids trouble in running.

Paul Nicholls will be looking to continue his great run of form in big races this season and add a third Welsh National in six years to his growing list of achievements with The Tother One, who, despite two seconds  from two starts this season looks to be on an upward curve and should give a good account of himself.

Our Monty represents the best Irish hope in the race and his trainer Willie Mullins will be looking to emulate last year’s winner and fellow Irish Raider Notre Pere. He is a horse finding improvement with every run and stamina should be no problem around the Welsh track’s test conditions.
