British preview:Not Left Yet can continue the run of big-race successes for David Pipe with victory in the Coral Welsh National at Chepstow.
The unexposed six-year-old is lurking towards the bottom of the handicap - he is 1lb wrong at the weights - but over this trip of three miles and five furlongs, that should neither be here nor there.
The David Johnson-owned gelding has plenty of stamina and was in the process of running a cracker in the four-mile race at the Cheltenham Festival won by Butler's Cabin. He was suffering no ill-effects first time out this season when sharp enough to win over hurdles. The Pipes love winning this race and Not Left Yet looks another success story.
Ashkazar was a very smart individual on the level and looked a natural over hurdles when winning on his debut at Wincanton and can give Pipe a double.
The selection, who is disputing favouritism with Franchoek for the Triumph Hurdle, is fancied to take the Coral Future Champions Finale Juvenile Novices' Hurdle.
Voy Por Ustedes seemed beaten on merit by new Queen Mother Champion Chase favourite Twist Magic in the Tingle Creek last time. However, Alan King's admirable six-year-old ought to prove too good for his rivals as he seeks back-to-back wins in the Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton.
Lennon can defy top weight in the Skybet.com Castleford Chase at Wetherby.
