Pipe Ponders Vic Festival Options David Pipe will consider the going at Prestbury Park before committing Our Vic to the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup.The nine-year-old finished second in the Letheby And Christopher Chase, some 18 lengths in arrears of winner Exotic Dancer after clouting the second-last fence.Our Vic was sore after that mishap but Pipe reports him to be in good health.'He came out of the race very well. He ate up and he was fine after the race, obviously he was sore though,' said Pipe.'I knew lots of people who were down at the second last and they said he did very well to stand up. He's had physio since but he seems fine.'Our Vic is as low as 12-1 with William Hill for the Gold Cup but Pipe will also take the option of entering him for the two-mile-five-furlong Ryanair Chase, in which he was last of nine finishers in 2006.'The Ryanair closes this week and he will have an entry and then we will see what the ground is closer to the day,' Pipe told At The Races.The David Johnson-owned gelding is a 5-1 chance with Coral for the Ryanair.?
