Racing News: Teaforthree to target Welsh National

Teaforthree's front-running style should be perfectly suited to a race of this nature...

Rebecca Curtis has recently stated that her stable star, Teaforthree, will be aimed at next season's Welsh Grand National, over three miles and five furlongs at Chepstow in December...

Teaforthree demonstrated stamina to be his forte in last month's National Hunt Challenge Cup, defeating Harry the Viking by two lengths in the four mile amateur race at the Cheltenham Festival.

That victory provided Curtis with her first winner at the Cheltenham Festival and it now seems she wants to land her first National prize with the same horse.

The Chepstow course can catch a lot of horses out, especially in mid winter, but Teaforthree has won there twice before, producing his best Timeform rating of 145 on each occasion, and he looks a superb National candidate at this stage.

His front-running style should be perfectly suited to a race of this nature and his jumping, good attitude and willingness to respond to pressure are all key attributes likely to hold him in good stead.

There is also a chance that Teaforthree runs in next season's Aintree National, for which he is currently trading at (36.035/1) on Betfair.
