Chepstow

The ground for this Welsh National does not look like being as soft as it usually is but that is not a problem for ROCK MY WAY (nap) who was so impressive at Ascot. He has been reassessed by the handicapper, whereas plenty of today's rivals are due to race off higher marks in the future on the strength of more recent performances, but Rock My Way still appeals most. Last year's runner-up Jubilee Express was propelled to favouritism this time round by his win in the Trial but Collectors Item was in close attendance that day and may turn the tables to give the selection most to do. Mr Vango and O'Connell keep raising their hands to go on the shortlist, while Hung Jury and Where It All Began are the most interesting outsiders.[Richard Austen]
