The 12th Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle sees the usual suspects Elliott (x4), Mullins (x3) and Nicholls (x2) amongst those with multiple declarations. Furthermore, the legendary JP McManus (landed a gamble last year with Early Doors) is doubly-represented with FRONT VIEW and Ilikedwayurthinkin. The rather confident selection didn't really have things go according to plan when runner-up to an authoritative Five O'Clock (Assemble third) in a Grade 3 novice at Thurles three weeks ago. However, the net result is a most attractive opening handicap mark of 135. Others to consider include The Bosses Oscar, Pileon and Column Of Fire.
