Our Vic heads a final field of just nine runners in the Raymond Mould Supporting Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury on Saturday.
The 12-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic start to 2010 having struck gold in the Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock before filling the runner-up spot in the Blue Square Gold Cup at the same track. Champion trainer Paul Nicholls saddles Big Fella Thanks and Pasco while Nigel Twiston-Davies is represented by Battlecry as he bids for a second successive big Saturday prize having saddled last weekend’s Racing Post Chase at Kempton.
Gary Moore’s Panjo Bere and the Jonjo O’Neill-trained Can’t Buy Time both arrive on the back of victories while Regal Heights, Stan and Au Courant complete the field.
We will take a close look at this race shortly.
