Whisper shouts loud and proud in Coral

Nico de Boinville and Whisper just saw off Tony McCoy on Get Me Out Of Here in a thrilling race for the Coral Cup.

There was nothing between them up the hill, but it was Whisper (14-1), trained by Nicky Henderson and owned by Dai Walters, who prevailed by a short head.

Bayan was two and a quarter lengths away in third, with Smashing fourth.
