MARTIN PIPE Conditionals Handicap Hurdle

What's up darling

Been running over 2 miles all season
By shirocco out of a flemensfirth mare so very stamina laden pedigree
plenty of experience on heavy ground

No surprise if he improves significantly for the step up in trip I'd say

Incredible staying performance by Brighter Days Ahead, probably the most attritional since Blow by Blow.

Surely a BANC horse next year, thought he had no chance 2 out

The front 4 are all good horses. Miles clear of the rest. Will be following all of them next year.

Taponthego (20/1) for HDB has his 5th run over hurdles today at Punchestown. Beat Mclaurey 9L on Hurdles debut.

Outpaced and seemed to stay on a bit. Obviously not a 2 miler by looks of that today.

Yep ... ripe to improve back up in trip next time

For a big prize :nevreness:
 
….Doyen Quest;


At the start of the season he looked really well handicapped and he looked a progressive horse. If you would have said to me at that point I would have said he was a short-priced fancy for the Pertemps, but it hasn’t quite worked out that way.

It looks like he has stayed three miles since he did that day at Cheltenham. I think a drop back in trip will suit him. I think he is most likely to run in the Martin Pipe.

Finally stepped out of the shadows to join the forum properly so apologies if this horse has been previously mentioned, but No Ordinary Joe @ 20/1 (not NRNB) must be the EW poke of the meeting surely?

Two pounds lower than last year when Henderson was in the doldrums and a pound lower when second two years ago.

I really fancied him last year before the yard fell apart, so to come 7th was quite a result all in all. One of the better Henderson runs, was he just so well in that he got close regardless? Is he still well in now, very lightly raced for a 9 year old.

Unless ive missed some comments about a different race, think its got to be 1 point @ 12/1 NRNB and 1 point @ 20/1 N(ot)NRNB.

Welcome to the forum. I will absolutely not hold it against you that the first horse you mention is a Getaway:biggrin-new:. I’m almost certainly too late but if not have you considered doubling your stake and playing him in the place markets on Betfair on the day as I’m not sure how much he finds off the bridle. I do think he has a very strong place chance though. Just my personal view of the horse. Maybe consider this option ‘as well as’ perhaps?
 
No harm in getting involved again if the price is right! A lot of time between now and then, can’t imagine he will be much of a talking horse in the previews so could end up becoming a bit forgotten.
 
Something of a forgotten horse or even not though of at all 1 for this looks to be the Gavin Cromwell trained Tonaghneave Well.
Its only entry is for this race, on bits and pieces of form he looks pretty well in. It's had a good break and seems ground versatile, maybe preferring decent ground. Still get 25s or upwards in places. Who knows if it gets in/declared but with NRMB.

….Elliott;



Minella Sixo, Sporting Glory, Staffordshire Knot, Timmy Tuesday and possibly Mordor could run here. Wodhooh is the pick of ours. This has been the plan all year and her form has worked out very well.

The second, third and fourth from her last start at Cheltenham have all won listed or graded races since then. It wasn’t ideal to miss time with her due to a setback - she nearly missed a year - but hopefully she should definitely come forward for the run.

We said we’d go straight here after her last start at Cheltenham. She’s in great form. Off a mark of 141, she’s still unexposed. She could be well-handicapped and has won at the track, which is massive. Danny Gilligan will ride her.

I suspected this but couldn't confirm it

The fact that Danny Gilligan can ride in this is a huge positive for Woodooh

Greatly improved her chance imo
