Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle 2019

[Innoko]

I quite like him for a handicap. Where would you prefer him Innoko?

Not sure Bobby, not one I've ever had on my radar, but he would certainly be unexposed at the new trip!

Nick Gifford will look to step Didtheyleaveuoutto up in trip on his next start after earmarking two potential options at the Cheltenham Festival.

The Findon handler is considering running the JP McManus-owned six-year-old in either the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle over an extended two and a half miles or the Coral Cup, after he failed to feature in the Betfair Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday.

Gifford said: "I think the fallout from Saturday was that he answered a few questions.

"I had a few niggling doubts about him over two miles and he has shown he is not quite good enough in that grade over that trip and he now wants stepping up.

"He got away with it in his bumpers and his first two novice hurdles over two miles, but at the next level up he is clearly not quite up to it.

"I should think JP and his team will have a plan. The Martin Pipe looks an obvious race or there is the Coral Cup. I think he would slot nicely into one of those handicaps."

Shock horror he’s stepping up in trip. Only 3 races too late

Huge surprise imo
Quoted as being best horse in the yard
Any reasons given?

[Folski]

Anyone have any thoughts on Early Doors for this?

[Liammet]

Anyone clever enough to work out/guess the jockeys for the principals in this
Realize it could be difficult with the new rules ruling out the better jockeys

I've backed him Any Race with Coral Cup in mind...

So obvously of interest here too.

Nicely campaigned up in grade...

Surprised that Eliott has stated there is a loophole and Donagh Meyler is allowed to ride in this
I wonder if they are only counting his winners up to the time they made the rule change and not now
And if the loophole will allow any other jockeys to ride that we thought could not

Based on what he told us away from the crowd and then the mention he gave to everyone including the part about DM riding i had my biggest single of the festival on Dallas in this.
Cant believe i'm having it on a handicap but there you go!
