Kitty’s Light could look to repeat his magical end-of-season victory in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown just a fortnight on from his gallant fifth in Saturday’s Grand National.
The eight-year-old produced a captivating run in the great race, joint-leading the field with four others jumping the last before fading behind an Irish-trained quartet headed by I Am Maximus.
Trainer Christian Williams reported Kitty’s Light to be in great shape following his return from Liverpool and hopes he can defend the £170,000 prize on April 27, for which he is 6-1 with the sponsor.
Last season he won at Sandown just seven days on from scoring in the Scottish Grand National at Ayr, but while he will have double the recovery time this year, Williams believes he endured a tougher test at Aintree.
The trainer, who returned home to Wales from Aintree at 1.30am, said on Sunday morning: “He had a hard race but we’ll give him every chance to go to Sandown.
