Picking the right profile: what does it take to win the Welsh Grand National?

3.10 ChepstowCoral Welsh Grand National Handicap Chase (Grade 3) | 3m6½f | 5yo+ | ITV4/Sky

There is no doubt that the best part of four miles around Chepstow on heavy ground presents a unique examination and it won't be long before the wheat gets separated from the chaff in this stamina test. Some simply won't like it, so what characteristics do you need to revel in it?

You might have thought it would be easy to pin down an ideal type, but recent runnings have thrown up a mixed bag of winners. They range in age from six to 13, favourites to outsiders, topweights to bottomweights, professional to conditional riders. There's no rhyme or reason.
