Pulled up in the Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow latest; blinkers worn for the first time. Effective over 3m+ with cut; has struggled since returning from a layoff and the headgear needs to make a difference.

At The Races Verdict

MYRETOWN's jumping has really let him down the last twice, when falling in the Coral Gold Cup and finishing fourth in the Peter Marsh here last month. A very bad mistake three out cost him on the latter occasion when he was travelling best of all and that effort suggests that he is still well handicapped. With a clear round, the nine-year-old can see off Deafening Silence, who arrives here on the back of placed efforts in the Rehearsal and Welsh Grand National. Rivers Corner and Richmond Lake are others who have strong claims.

Expert View Verdict

It's worth giving another chance to MYRETOWN, who was bowling along merrily in front when making a shuddering error at the third-last here last time. He did his best to rally, not being beaten far, and there's still plenty of juice in his mark of 142. He just needs to regain his confidence in the jumping department. Welsh National third Deafening Silence must be considered also, up just 1lb, and we know he stays. He isn't open to the same improvement as the selection, however. Chepstow fifth Monbeg Genius remains competitively weighted and is in with a shout also but Grand Geste may pose a greater threat, the 7yo having looked a chaser going places when winning here two starts back. His last run was too bad to be true.
