Our Vic Tops with VC Bet

OUR VIC TOPS WITH VC BET Martin Pipe's Our Vic shot to the head of the market for the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup after his gutsy win in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham last week and has been cut from 12-1 to 5-1 with VC Bet. A 6lb penalty for that success brings his weight up to 11st 4lbs and he clearly holds a favourite's chance in the Newbury spectacular on November 26. VC Bet's Neal Wilkins commented "Saturday's victory was a fantastic training achievement by Martin Pipe bringing the horse back to win after his problems last season. Our Vic clearly proved that he has got his confidence back and off his present handicap mark he will surely be making up for lost time".

Gambled on from 8-1 down to 5-1 and attracting a single wager of £650,000 to £100,000 each way, Lingo was always travelling well under Tony McCoy and came clear after jumping the last to take the best part of a million pounds out of the ring. In doing so he leapt To the fore-front of the market for the Champion Hurdle and was slashed from 33-1 down to 10-1 fourth favourite with VC Bet. Neal Wilkins from VC Bet commented "Lingo is very lightly raced because of his long absence and he showed that he possesses the right mixture of speed and stamina. He would not be the first massive improver to win a Champion Hurdle - Make a Stand comes quickly to mind".
