‘Headbanger’ Bobdoes the business
Described by his trainer Tom Mullins as “a bit of a headbanger’, Bob Lingo raced close to the pace throughout and stayed on stoutly for Mark Walsh in the closing stages to beat Foildubh by three and a half lengths, with the flattering Uncle Tom Cobley fading to finish third.
The McManus-owned favourite Sot From The Hip (Tony McCoy) flopped, finishing a distant sixth while his Cheltenham Festival winner, top-weight Bellvano, sustained fatal injuries in a last fence fall.
