Watch Welsh Grand National live streams today, with Monbeg Genius, Broadway Boy and Where It All Began vying for glory at Chepstow's annual festive festival of mud. Full guide below: how to watch Welsh Grand National 2024 from anywhere, free streams, start time and worldwide TV channels/broadcasters.
The official going is soft, good to soft in places at an extremely foggy Chepstow racecourse, where the three and three-quarter mile steeplechase is invariably caked in stodgy Monmouthshire soil. Last year, infamously, only five horses were able to complete the course.
Nassalam won by a whopping 34 lengths, though the Gary and Josh Moore-trained champion has had to pull out of the 2024 edition, as has another heavyweight, Sara Bradstock-trained Mr Vango.
Hopefully Jonjo and A J O'Neill didn't forget to write to Santa this year, because fortune certainly seems to be smiling down on them. Broadway Boy, however, finished second in the Coral Gold Cup, while Sam Thomas-trained Iwilldoit was a Welsh Grand National winner in 2021, before a third-place finish last year.
