Looking at Nickys blog this week it looks like Pym will be going here;

"Pym bumped into a couple of good horses earlier in the season but came back with a decisive win on the same day and beat a really, really good horse called The Cashel Man! I would have thought we’ll probably go down the handicap route with him (Pym) and something like the Martin Pipe could come into the equation but he may run again beforehand as he had a mid season break so is relatively fresh."

Would be happy personally after having a bit on the any race market earlier in the season.

DALLAS DES PICTONS for me, from the moment he strode 10 lengths clear to Win a maiden last month. Gordy entered him on Cheltenham trials day to assess his UK Mark, which was 135, cw Irish rating of 130. So he had to run again and win which he did in a big field handicap at the DRF on Sunday. Irish Mark up 7lb to 137. UK Mark given today at 141 (as Gordy has shrewdly entered him in a Newbury handicap on Saturday to check on his revised UK rating). Already taken 16/1 and 14/1 before UK ratings gave him a prime chance of a run here. So took the 14/1 that was left. Biggest now is 12s with Unibet, generally 10/1 elsewhere.

Dylan Robinson perhaps

I would imagine the trainer would have a queue of willing conditionals, and take his pick of the one he trusts the most. Got it right with Blow By Blow off top weight last year. That ride was a masterclass.

Have a look at ECLAIR DE BEAUFUE too. He did exactly the same with him. Got a 137 market Chelters trial day (130 in Ireland). He ran close up 4th to Off You Go in the 2 mile Ladbroke Hurdle at the DRF on Saturday, and entered him for same race at Newbury this weekend as DDP to see what his revised Mark would be. It's now 136 in UK. Not sure which is the race for him. The County?

Dallas De Picton is now in the top 3 betting for the Pertemps, do you think he will enter that race instead of this??

I think you might well have missed your day with him. He was 8/1 the day before in a weak looking race, void of quality at the weekend. He would be running of a considerably higher mark here than he was at the weekend against what will be much better horses with plenty ahead of there mark. he's only a couple of pts bigger with a far harder task. I won't be following him in here personally.

Probably people just going off the fact he won over 3m at Leopardstown on Sunday but Gordon ran The Storyteller & BBB over 2m 7f before targeting the Martin Pipe. Getting 3m around Leopardstown on good ground doesn’t guarantee he’ll get all of the trip around Cheltenham with probably more ease in the ground!

I'd personally prefer him out of the 2 in the martin pipe. He can find improvement for the step up in trip. And his marks fair.
