The Coral Welsh Grand National 2022 is almost upon us as the eyes of the horseracing world turn to Wales' biggest fixture in its usual post-Boxing Day slot.
The pride of Welsh racing, the three and three-quarter mile race attracts some of the finest long-distance chasers to vie for the big prize: £150,000.
Crowds will make a welcome return after two years of Covid restrictions which meant the stands were almost empty for the last two editions. The race was held behind closed doors in 2020, while all sporting fixtures were staged without fans last winter due to the Omicron variant spreading through the country.
