Sandown 3:50 - Bet365 Gold Cup Chase(HANDICAP) (Grade 3) (1) 3m5f 110yds The favourite for the race is the Nigel Twiston Davies trained Same Difference who finished 5th to Spring Heeled in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival. Spring Heeled won well that day so this horse looks too short in my opinion. This is Jim Culloty's first ever runner at Sandown and he is on the crest of a wave at the moment after landing the Kim Muir with Spring Heeled and landing the Gold Cup with Lord Windermere. If Spring Heeled comes here in the same sort of form he has to have a big each-way chance. Grand National winning trainer Dr Richard Newland runs Ardkilly Witness here won won at Market Rasen last time out and he looks a horse that will love this trip.
