Martin Pipe 2018

[Kevloaf]

Judging by the noises out of the stable Cracking Smart is Gigginstown's AB horse. Which again leads me to guess this will be the route for Dortmund Park.

He's the Kevloaf Albert Bartlett horse too I think... if I was forced to pick just 1.

What price have you got DP at? Still available 16/1 NRNB - that is too big.

 

[Folski]

Didn't know he'd had a wind op. Certainly not a negative.

I've actually got him backed in both NRNB so quite happy for him to line up in either... I suppose this race is technically more winnable, and if he's being considered for this, it means they think he's held by Cracking Smart? Then again, if he goes AB, you have to take that as a vote of confidence too?

Dortmund Park - Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle: 14/1
He’s got a lot of entries and he’s had one of those famous wind operations. What is the rule with the Irish going over to England? Ah, you have to declare them. He's in the Martin Pipe, Albert Bartlett, it will be one or the other.

Back to the drawing boards for me with this race toady. Had to cash out on my Blow By Blow ticket after he was jacked 5lbs in the weights after a slightly flattered victory lto. Phil Smith must have missed Roaring Bulls fall at the last :very_drunk:

I reckon Dortmund Park is after getting a nice lenient mark. He was travelling best of all in the grade 1 staying novices hurdle at Leopardstown with about 3 furlongs to go and i think his previous race less than two weeks before Leopardstown (on very heavy ground) had bottomed him out somewhat and he didn't find as much for pressure as he had done in the past. A six week break from the track should have him freshened up and ready to roll.

Added DP & also Whiskey Sour to my Martin Pipe book last night. I think both have sound chances.

I hadn't realised until I checked but I now have 4 in this race and still want to add one more :very_drunk:

 

[Robbante]

Got to have the mullins horses covered here due to his record in the race. Hard to tell which ones will line up as most also entered for coral cup. Have a bit on whisky sour but Deal D’estruval would be a bigger fancy for me

Thankfully got some of the 16/1 NRNB that was still available last night Kev. Gone now. Are you on at a juicy price?

No not for this. I requested the price before he won and got offered 10s after he won it!

Took 16s myself

JJ Slevin will be riding Early Doors for Jospeh O'Brien because he can still claim in England.
Grade 1 horse in a handicap and Joseph says it is his (one of three) best chances of the week... Rhinsestone and Edwulf were the others all e/w chances.

Betfair are 33/1 still...

I know some people are already on

I'd be dissapointed if he diddnt go close. He's been crying out for a trip imo, hes a real galloper. And I'd be hoping he could develop into a Stayers hurdle horse.
Reeks of hiding his true ability behind a 2m trip.
Iv no doubt he's the best horse in this race, all be it he's rated towards the top.. He's alot better than 142 though imo. JJ takes a small claim.

3lbs is his claim which he's good value for.

I would have my doubts about any JP horse tipped by the trainer. Would be far more interested in anything not mentioned.

 

[Sirbetalot]

Good word from NH & Nico for Stowaway Magic last night will he run here?? 33/1 nrnb seems a good price

 

[Robbante]

Carter McKay and Sandsend heading here according to one of the previews last night. Going to have both onside given mullins' record in the race, both have decent profiles and form for this

 

[jono]

Happy to read this. (I want him onside wherever he goes but) I'll be incredibly keen on him for this race if he is able to sneak in what will likely be one of the bottom weights. Off 136 he is going to be cutting it fine. Entries in this race (136 may sneak in), Coral (think that'll be too low), County (could well be his best chance of getting in a race though I am keen for a step up in trip) and interestingly they still have the entry in the Albert Bartlett (a good sign, for this race that they see him as a stayer)

Blow By Blow also pleasing Elliott and confirmed for this

 

[Old Vic]

Is Dell Arca the only Pipe horse likely to get in ?

I know he is qualified for Pertemps and Cheltenham form not encouraging but has the feeling of something that might have looked obvious after the event.

 

[Sirbetalot]

Just reinvested my Hunter Call refund. Had Stowaway Magic @ 33/1 1pt win for this. Not sure it will be fancied by many here & his form is nothing amazing. But Hend & Nico said he is coming here & he came back over hurdles in his last race and had a good race Nico said he would have a chance. Plus the money was burning a hole in my account and I did not have a running in this.

Is Mr Big Shot likely to get in

You should have put it on Sandsend

Is the 25/1 still there? He won't be that if he did get in. Difficult to predict as many will go elsewhere or not run. Probably odds against but still a better chance than Flawless Escape.

 

[Kevloaf]

I haven't bought in to Flawless Escape at all...

Has anyone on here made a case for him? I haven't seen much about him at all, and he's single figures and going one way
