Could a Welsh trained horse win the Grand National for the first time since 1905?

West Wales trainer is preparing two contenders for this weekend's Grand National. She hopes the horses' regular dips in the waters of her private beach will give them an edge in Aintree. Red Rum had regular swimming sessions at Southport beach before his Grand Nats wins in 1973, 1974 and 1977.

The Romford Pele and O'Faolains Boy are both going to the Grand National. The Romfel Peel is a 40-1 shot and may start at even longer odds on the day. O’Faolan's Boy is 33- 1.

Buywise is a Welsh trained horse hoping to win the Grand National on Saturday. He is trained at the Llancarfan stables. Buywise has won four of his thirteen chase starts going into the 2016 National. He won a Grade 2 Handicap with a £28k winning 1st prize at Doncaster in February. The trainer Evan Williams has praised Buy wise for his staying power.

Rebecca started riding when she was four and she went on to work for Richard Mandela and Dan Hendricks in the USA. She trained her first winner in 2008 with Mango Catcher and then 25 winners the following season. Her success attracted the patronage of J P McManus. Rebecca and Gearoid Costelloe have developed a reputation in sourcing young untouched horses and developing them for top races.
