The Julie Weston trained Vic Chic added to her recent haul when taking the Follow Punchestown On Facebook Handicap Hurdle at Punchestown today, under jockey Martin Ferris.

A winner last time out at Tipperary, the daughter of Old Vic defied a 10lbs rise for the win, staying on well to hold the challenge of Tyrone Tiger in the straight.

Afterwards Weston said “Vic Chic has matured and is a great mare for this time of the year. We are very pleased with her and will look for something similar next - she stays forever.

“My dad John (Weston) owns her and he'll be falling off the chair in England!”
