Giles Cross bidding to go one better

VICTOR DARTNALL is hoping Giles Cross can go one better than last season when he lines-up for the Coral Welsh National at Chepstow today.

Giles Cross found only Synchronised too good last winter and with that horse going for the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown tomorrow, Dartnall is expecting a bold show from his nine-year-old.

“Giles Cross is in good form and schooled well this morning,” said the Devon trainer.
