2023 Martin Pipe Odds and Entries - Irish novices head Festival market

Here's a look through the current Martin Pipe betting and a rundown of the most likely runners.

Irish novice hurdlers occupy nine of the first ten spots in the current Martin Pipe betting. American Mike sits second in the market, despite the fact that he's not qualified to run in the Martin Pipe, having only run three times over hurdles. 

Willie Mullins' Spanish Harlem leads the way in the betting. Ireland's Champion Trainer could also run Hauturiere, Haxo, Historique Reconce and Blue Sari. Gordon Elliott, meanwhile, could saddle up to half of the overall field, with Cool Survivor, Imagine, Three Card Brag, Favori De Champdou and Landrake all sitting prominently in the market.

Langer Dan finished second to Galopn Des Champs in this race two years ago and Dan Skelton has managed to get his mark to drop below the 145 ceiling for the Martin Pipe. Harry Fry's Might I could make an appearance, along with Paul Nicholls' novice Irish Hill.

Other possible runners on day four of the Cheltenham Festival include Emmet Mullins' juvenile Mctigue, Joseph O'Brien's San Salvador, course winners Camprond and Fennor Cross, and Charles Byrnes's seven-year-old Grozni.
