He disappointed at the Dublin Racing Festival but if you go back to his run at Christmas then he has a chance. It’s great to have Tiernan Power Roche in the saddle. He’s been riding really well all-season and will be a big advantage to this horse.

5/2

A horse who shows a lot at home. A lot of people were waiting to see which race we declared him in and we’re happy to let him take his chance in the Martin Pipe. I’m very hopeful he will give Aidan Kelly, who won this race two years ago, a good spin. He won’t lack for experience in the saddle in this conditional riders’ race.

He’ll probably have to run a career best to get involved in the finish.

It’s unusual to have a Royal Bond winner in the Martin Pipe but Kieran Callaghan takes the mount and we know he will jump and stay.
