Race Tip

MONBEG GENIUS (3) can break his big win duck with a win in the Welsh National. Last time out placed 12L second on testing ground at Haydock. Holds course form and most recent victory came here back in February 2023. Primed for this contest. GALIA DES LITEAUX (4) did not compete on the ground previously in the Coral Gold Cup Premier Handicap Chase finishing 12L seventh. Will be more suited to this test. Main danger. WHERE IT ALL BEGAN (7) seeks to become the first Irish winner of the race since 2017. Has a reputation for staying on testing ground which will suit. Previously seen finishing 31L eighth in the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse. Claims. IRON BRIDGE (6) placed second in last year’s renewal. Could go one better down in weight.
