Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys Handicap Hurdle

[Kevloaf]

He is entered in the William Fry H/C hurdle at Leopardstown, the race DDP won last year. Problem is its worth 59k to the winner and they may find it irresistible of 132

I think it will happen Pendil, it’s too good to turn down, it’s the path DDP took before the Martin Pipe, and COF has some weight to play with of 132, and still get into the Martin Pipe, or go into the Coral Cup instead.

I would back him to win in Ireland at that weight.

Oh we'll absolutely be backing him at the DRF as well.

No brainer.

Ilikedwayurthinkin- what am i missing, as i don't get the love for him at all. Is there anything other than the trainer half shrewd and owner resulting in people thinking hes a plot?

Lynch put him up very early on.
But he did the same a couple of years back and the horse (Off you Go) never travelled over.

Bit of a form boost for Column of Fire today with Aione winning. PP cut to 12s after too.

Whats the max he gets off the UK handicapper? 10 lbs? Top weight won the last 2 years so 13 lbs would look lovely for trend lovers.

Im baffled also , decent form like but never a 6/1 poke.

He looks like a Festival target job, on his back form.

He ran averagely on his first 5 hurdle starts.

Then rocked up at the Galway Festival and won twice in competitive Handicap hurdles, with the money down. Winning easily.
1st of 19 over 2M 5/6F
1st of 20 over 2M5F 2/1F

JP McManus owned.
He was punted off the boards twice.
Trainer had to explain the abnormal improved form post race.

The online race videos show how much he had in hand.
The Irish wont forget this, and will probably back him again on course even if he is fav. Like they did on his 2nd Galway win.

UK rating 140, they know they will get a run in the race.

He was the first horse I backed with Handicaps in mind when WH Any Race went up.

After reading Joe Tizzards blog tonight Beaufort West is heading here could i ask one of you that know how get him added to the market on either Skybet or 365 for me.

Are they having you on ?
They aren't best at placing horses and race planning I know. But they're two steps ahead here.

He's rated 129, and due to run on Sunday against the worst looking field I've ever seen giving them all 7lb.
I expect they think he'll win there and then win again before cheltenham. He'll probably need too.

You might get a big price offered I suppose ?

I'll ask a friend to get a price

 

[Quevega]

After thinking 129 was too low a mark. I've looked at the opening page and it could get in some years, although not so much on decent ground.
I should get a price back with skybet tonight.

I’m in that fan club but it would take me 10 days to walk to their gallops

Does anyone think they are campaigning Franco De Port for this? Looked at the form for the horse and its ran really well then the last 2 races hes ran in much better company possibly to keep the mark down? Unless hes 'just another horse' i think if he shows up here hell have a serious chance

I like the chances of Gardens of Babylon here. Was a high class juvenile and is off a mark of just 139 in Ireland which should be perfect for this race. Last years winning connections should be able to secure a top conditional for the ride. 20/1 NRNB with Sky and 40/1 without.

Has Skelton put up Flash The Steel for this race? Wondering why he is so prominent in the market. I assumed he would go Coral Cup but he is much bigger for that race.

 

[TCH29]

Thought he was more likely for the Coral Cup, ABP?

Mentioned it on the ITV morning line thing, aiming here apparently

Told The Morning Show he’s been trained all season for this.

Was on one of those RP pods a few wks back & when suggested for county / coral he said he’d put him away for the ‘boys race’ which is obviously this - has the feel of a preview night market springer to me...

He’s crying out for a step up in trip so would’ve thought Coral Cup more likely?
