Small and mighty chaser The Two Amigos relished conditions for a tenacious home win in the Coral Welsh Grand National on Tuesday.
The 2020 runner-up and 2019 fifth jumped boldly out in front and dug deep to find extra reserves in the Chepstow mud. Headed by one of the favourites The Big Dog at the fourth last, the ten-year-old stuck to the task under jockey David Prichard.
And the 16-1 shot, trained by Minehead-based Nicky Martin, needed no second invitation to regain his front-running role when the Irish raider ploughed through the penultimate obstacle. With head bowed low, the lightest weight of the entire field stayed on pluckily from final challenger The Big Breakaway (12-1).
