Racing Chat - Friday 27th Dec (Welsh National)

[richard-westwood]

Got a few days off so I can rate a fair few races ....started with the Welsh national .....I'll just post ratings for now and back in a couple days ....

Welsh national 

Elegant escape  244 +2 

Captain chaos 242 +2 

Computer has surprisingly chopped to 2 horses which is unusual for such an open race ....also it's the battle of weights ...elegant top weight and captain currently bottom weight .....personally I like a low weight in these slogs so the 20/1 On captain chaos looks outstanding value but elegant escape has an air of class and could be hard to stop ....def8nately between these 2 for me
