However Vaughan will be delighted with eight-year-old Hidden Identity who went into the race at 66\/1.<br \/>\nAnother of Vaughan\u2019s horses to run well was Ackertac, who came seventh in Tuesday\u2019s Baylis and Harding Handicap Chase. Richard Johnson steered the nine-year-old 20\/1 shot to a respectable finish in the 23-strong race, which was ultimately won by Jonjo O\u2019Neill\u2019s 10\/1 Holywell, while pre-race favourite Alfie Sherrin, ridden by A P McCoy, finished a place back from Ackertac in eighth.<br \/>\nEvan William\u2019s seven-year-old Buywise also gave a good showing in Tuesday\u2019s final race, the Novices\u2019 Handicap Chase.<br \/>\nThe 16\/1 shot, ridden by Richard Johnson, came in fifth place, while the race was won by 8\/1 joint favourite Present View.<br \/>\nWednesday was a much quieter day for both yards, with only Vaughan\u2019s Le Fin Bois running. The 25\/1 French three-year-old, who only recently joined Vaughan\u2019s stable, came nineteenth in the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle.<br \/>\nVaughan\u2019s next runner came in Thursday\u2019s second race, with 50\/1 First Fandango coming 21st in the Pertemps Network Final, and later in the day 66\/1 runner Gallox Bridge fell in the Byrne Group Plate Handicap Chase.<br \/>\nNow all eyes are turned to The Gold Cup, and whether Silviniaco Conti can topple the mighty Bobs Worth, as a reasonable week for Welsh racing draws to a close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ballyglasheen was a non-runner in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham today, a race won by 10\/1 Tiger Roll.
