Vic Best in Urlingford On outing number four, Knocklayde Vic put a defeat when a well-punted favourite last time, firmly behind him, accounting for Goidelic by one and three parts of a length in the Urlingford Maiden Hurdle. The Adrian Joyce-ridden winner was 5/2 second market choice after being the subject of support at his morning show of 9/2. Successful trainer, Tom Taaffe said: "He is out of a half-sister to Merry Gale. I don't think he'll run again this season and he'll go chasing next term. He handled the better ground there which is great." (EM)
