2 minutes At eight years old, Kitty's Light has already demonstrated his prowess over long distances by clinching the Scottish Grand National in 2023
In the storied history of the Grand National at Aintree, only Kirkland in 1905 has managed to secure a win for Wales. This year, Kitty's Light, a promising contender trained by Christian Williams in the scenic Ogmore Castle area of South Wales, aims to bridge that long-standing gap with a victory in the celebrated steeplechase.
At eight years old, Kitty's Light has already demonstrated his prowess over long distances by clinching the Scottish Grand National in 2023. His affinity for endurance races positions him as a strong fit for the demanding Aintree course.
In an advantageous position, Kitty's Light is slated to carry a lighter load than many of his competitors in the race, with a weight assignment of 10st 6lb. This could offer him a significant edge over the field.
Currently positioned at 12/1 with Unibet, Kitty's Light is among the frontrunners in the betting landscape, trailing just behind last year's champion, Corach Rambler, and a select few others. His status as a favoured pick among this year's Grand National hopefuls solidified after Williams earmarked this race as the season's focal point. Following a seventh-place finish in the Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham Festival, Kitty's Light is in prime condition for what may be the defining moment of his career.
Christian Williams' Achievements
Christian Williams has carved out a notable reputation for staying handicap chases, boasting wins in the Welsh Grand National, Midlands Grand National, Eider Chase, among other distinguished events. Having experienced the Grand National as a jockey, with his best result being a second-place finish aboard Royal Auclair in 2005, Williams is now poised to potentially capture the crown as a trainer.
