We’ve two nice runners in the Martin Pipe. The race has been good to us before, and we have two good jockeys booked in Mikey O’Sullivan and Kieran Callaghan. Mikey rides this fellow, and I think he’s a horse who’s improving all the time and might just be ahead of the handicapper.

He ran well in the Betfair Hurdle, however he didn’t jump well enough for that slick two-mile race. Going a slower speed in this on softer ground will be a big help to him and he’s another who might be well handicapped over this trip.
