The Veterans Chase series is made for horses like Wild West Wind (3.00), who was never the fastest and had a fallow period in mid-career but has now, aged 11, dropped to an attractive rating. He can win the series final at Sandown for Tom George, who has landed a couple of significant prizes in the past fortnight.
A couple of years back Wild West Wind won three of his first four starts over fences and was fancied for the Welsh Grand National but he fell while leading that big field and it may have left a mark, as nothing seemed to go right for him for a long time.
