The Welsh Grand National is one of the biggest dates in the racing calendar and a favourite with those in rural communities. Many of its winners have gone on to success in the Aintree Grand National and The Gold Cup at Cheltenham, so today’s winner will be hoping for the same.

Mariclare Carey-Jones presents this special episode of Farming Today from Chepstow Racecourse, home of the Welsh Grand National. She hears from the jockey who won last year’s race, and the trainer who is hoping to win for the first time this year.
