Victoria Cup

I really like Prime Exhibit for today's big handicap at Ascot. Richard Fahey's charge was second (well clear of the third) in the Lincoln and I think the winner that day is a really good horse, a prospect for Group races, so at 18.5 on the Exhanges I have to get involved. Two negatives could be a low draw and the presence of Mabait, a Luca Cumani horse who was ridiculously impressive at Sandown and is on a five timer. So to overcome these negatives I have backed my main fancy each way and even though Mabait is 5/1 he is hard to fault even with a ten pound hike in the weights.

Prime Exhibit - £20ew @ 175/10 Lost

Mabait - £40win @ 5/1 Lost

(+£107)
