An enjoyable result, cracking jump at the last when he needed it.

Can't believe the money for An Accordion, it's half tempting to do a huge u-turn and side with Opera Mundi as he could well represent value now. But I won't.

What did you make of that Gold Cup trial in name only? Our Vic didn't seem to dog it for once, and actually kept on gamely enough, but just not as well as the winner up the hill. I remain convinced that Our Vic would be worth a crack at the Grand National, if they didn't run him between now and then. By and large he's a safe jumper nowadays, the flatter track would suit, and he'd be able to hunt around for the first circuit, and it probably wouldn't represent any greater test of stamina than 25f on soft ground at Cheltenham. I guess David Johnson would have reservations about running him in it though.
