Racing: Pipe seeks six-timer
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Miinnehoma, the 1994 Grand National winner, is one of five Martin Pipe entries for the Welsh National at Chepstow on 27 December. Pipe, attempting to win the race for the sixth time in eight years, has also entered Riverside Boy, Cache Fleur, Chatam and Terao.
Earth Summit, 20 lengths behind Master Oats last year when the race was switched from Chepstow's abandoned meeting to Newbury on New Year's Eve, is 5-1 favourite with the sponsors, Coral.
Nigel Twiston-Davies's chaser received 8lb from Master Oats last year but the difference between the pair would be 25lb this time.
Master Oats is 7-1 joint second-favourite in Coral's list but is not a definite runner. At the same odds is Superior Finish, trained by Jenny Pitman, who could also run Willsford. The latter's participation depends on the ground conditions not being too soft.
WELSH NATIONAL (Chepstow, 3m 5f 110yds) Coral: 5-1 Earth Summit, 7-1 Master Oats, Superior Finish, 8-1 Lo Stregone, Willsford, 10-1 Cache Fleur, Miinnehoma, 12-1 Flyer's Nap, Grange Brake, Midnight Caller, Nuaffe, Tartan Tyrant, 14-1 Riverside Boy, Sibton Abbey, 16-1 Commercial Artist, Lucky Lane, Plastic Spaceage, Well Briefed, 20-1 others.
