Knight to shine in National

ONE KNIGHT can defy a lengthy absence and return to action on a high by landing the Coral Welsh National at Chepstow today.

Philip Hobbs’ nine-year-old has attracted a lot of support in recent weeks despite the fact he has not raced since taking the Rehearsal Chase at this track last year.

He made all to beat L’Aventure by just over a length to secure a fifth chasing success but he is a horse that has not had the best of luck.
