Williams to delay decision on Mome Gold Cup bid

Venetia Williams is likely to make a “late call” on whether Mon Mome goes for the Cheltenham Gold Cup on his way to another crack at the John Smith’s Grand National.

The veteran was a 100-1 winner of the Aintree marathon in 2009 and after pulling up in the race 12 months later, spent a lengthy period on the sidelines before returning in a hurdle race at Haydock last month.
