Welsh National Thoughts
By colin on Saturday, January 8th, 2011Thoughts on the rescheduled Welsh National at Chepstow today:
1. Fiendishly tricky.
2. If playing, use minimal stakes.
3. Anything winning this will have to have stamina in buckets. Looking down the list of contenders, there are a number of doubts about stamina.
4. Trainer form may be important – lots of recent interruptions in the racing schedule and poor conditions at home mean we want a trainer who has proven that they are currently preparing their horses better than others.
Conclusion:
Arbor Supreme fits the bill as a horse that has won over the extreme distance and is from a yard in great form. At 16/1 + he also represents enough value to warrant a small play to each way stakes.
