Vyta Du Roc (Welsh Grand National 27 Dec)
Each-way
Made the most of his bottomless reserves of stamina to win the Grade 2 Reynoldstown Chase at Ascot last season, which was a performance all about good jumping and a will to win. He has been unable to reach those levels since but he's had excuses and his staying on sixth in the Hennessy at Newbury last month should have put him spot on for this.
This is always a competitive race and it will be tough to turn round the Hennessy form with the front two but I always like to back a horse that races fairly prominently in a Welsh National as horses rarely come from far back. Plus a horse that jumps economically rather than exuberantly in the stamina sapping conditions. Vyta fits the bill perfectly.
