Grand National horses from Wales
Below are listed all the horses running in the Grand National that are trained in Wales. You can also pick your horse by the colour the jockey wears, its star sign, or just take a lucky dip. Good Luck!
Haiti Couleurs
Haiti Couleurs has been a revelation over the last eighteen months winning the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, the Irish National, the Welsh National and, most recently, the Grade Two Denman Chase.
This winning haul has seen his handicap mark go up a huge thirty-one pounds and that may have scuppered his chances of winning an English National given that he now sits at a very elevated level in the handicap.
Trainer Rebecca Curtis sent Haiti Couleurs to the Cheltenham Gold Cup and he appeared to have a very hard race there before pulling up.
Having Champion Jockey Sean Bowen in the plate has been a huge boon for Curtis and Bowen’s tactical nous has undoubtedly allowed Haiti Couleurs to get the most out of his ability. The partnership would undoubtedly be very popular if lining up at Aintree but the suspicion must remain that he may no longer be well enough handicapped for such a competitive race, especially after his exertions at Cheltenham.
