    What Trip Is The Welsh Grand National Run Over?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The Welsh Grand National is run over a trip of 3m 6 1\/2f<\/strong> – so with the race often also run on soft\/heavy ground stamina is a must-have for any horse wanting to win.<\/p>\n

    See below how the trip of the Chepstow race compares to the other big Nationals.<\/p>\n

    Have Any Winners Gone onto Win The Aintree Grand National?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The 2023 Welsh Grand National winner Nassalam could only manage 18th in the Aintree version later that season.<\/p>\n

    But, when was the last horse to win both races?<\/p>\n

    Step forward Silver Birch<\/strong>, who won the Welsh National in 2004 and added the Aintree National three years later in 2007.<\/p>\n

    Bindaree<\/strong> also won both races – this Nigel Twiston-Davies chaser took the Welsh in 2003 a year after he’d won the Grand National at Aintree in 2002.<\/p>\n

    Prior to that it was another Twiston-Davies horse – Earth Summit<\/strong>, who did the double. Winning at Chepstow in 1997 and Aintree in 1998.<\/p>\n

    However, during the 1982-83 season, the Jenny Pitman-trained Corbiere<\/strong> won both races in the same campaign, with jockey Ben de Haan doing the steering in both races.<\/p>\n
