Victtorino and Venetia make a formidable team - but victory far from certain in red-hot Coral Gold Cup

V is for Venetia, V is for Victtorino, but will V be for Victory? The fifth-last letter in the alphabet has been a focal point in the Coral Gold Cup in the last week with Victtorino a market springer for Venetia Williams.

As worthy a candidate as the horse undoubtedly is, it's fair to say punters have been investing their stock in the trainer. 

Williams' share price is at an all-time high after, if you pardon the language, Royale Pagaille stuck two Vs up to those who questioned whether he could win last Saturday's Betfair Chase again.
