Weld All Set For All-The-Way Repeat Hot Weld could make the running again as he bids to follow up his all-the-way success in the Scottish National when he takes his chance in the Betfred Gold Cup at Sandown on Saturday.The eight-year-old, 12-1 with the sponsors, is set to run from 11lb out of the handicap in the prestigious end-of-season chase over three miles five and a half furlongs.'We would employ similar tactics. He likes being up there with the pace. When he won at Cheltenham last year Richard Harding made all the running on him. He´s happy doing that,' said trainer Ferdy Murphy´s assistant Niall Hannity.'Sandown will suit him because he does favour going right-handed.'He´s a long way out of the weights on 9st 3lb. They are unlikely to go up as I think the top weight My Will is a runner.'We wouldn´t normally consider running one that far out (of the weights), but he´s gone up 17lb so off his new mark he would be in the handicap. That won´t put us off and he will be a runner.'We´ve also got Leading Man in it as well and he´s a possible,' Hannity told At The Races.(C) PA Sport
