Kin can take National glory

The progressive Kinburn is fancied to compensate his supporters for two recent near-misses by powering to victory in the Coral Welsh National at Chepstow.

Already a winner over three miles in heavy ground, Kinburn confirmed stamina was his forte when finishing a close second to Naunton Brook in last month’s Northumberland National at Hexham – a four-mile slog through the mud which tests mind and body to the limit.
