What used to be the Whitbread Gold Cup will be run at Sandown on Saturday 28th April 2007. Hot Weld could easily follow up his success in the Scottish Grand National. I remember Mr Frisk winning the Grand National in 1990 and then going on to win the Whitbread Gold Cup three weeks later. Hot Weld has only one week between races, but if he runs he must be respected.
I doubt that we will see the emotions following Mill House’s triumph back in 1967 when ridden by David Nicholson. Happy Memories !
