KENNY SET FOR TOP WEIGHT

Leading Martell Grand National hope Young Kenny looks set to head the weights for Saturday`s De Vere Gold Cup at Haydock Park.

Commanche Court topped the 23 horses to stand their ground today but is set to tackle the Racing Post Trophy at Kempton Park instead.

Moral Support, is, however, likely to line-up for the Stg#100,000 event. The progressive nine-year-old has also been entered for the Racing Post Chase.

But trainer Charlie Mann said today: 'He`ll probably be going to Haydock - we`ve had the De Vere race in mind for him for some time. But it will depend on the strength of the opposition in each race.'

Moral Support is likely to have at least one more race after this weekend`s outing before he goes to Aintree.

'He`s the sort of horse that could do with a race every two weeks,' said Mann.

'We might take him to Cheltenham for the William Hill Handicap Chase or wait for the Midlands National at Uttoxeter.'

Trevor Hemmings, owner of Young Kenny, could also be represented by last year`s victor The Last Fling.

Saturday`s Warwick winner Take Control, Coral Welsh National hero Jocks Cross and the progressive Streamstown are also among the confirmations.

Streamstown`s regular partner Adrian Maguire is suspended on Saturday and will be replaced by JP McNamara.
