Martin Pipe Key Trends
- 10 of the last 10 winners were either five, six or seven-years-old
- 9 of the last 10 winners had run after January 7th
- 8 of the last 10 winners had previously run in a Graded race
- 8 of the last 10 winners had never won a handicap
- 8 of the last 10 winners finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd last time out
Topping the market is Spanish Harlem, but I don't think he's as good as Willie Mullins' previous winners of this race. Mullins' charge was thrashed 12 lengths by Three Card Brag at Fairyhouse and couldn't even beat Riaan when the two met at Thurles last time out.
Gordon Elliott will run as many as he can in a race that he always targets. Riaan will be part of Elliott's team, but he wouldn't be anywhere near the top of my shortlist.
Martin Pipe Tips Shortlist
Willie Mullins has overlooked his usual amateur jockeys to book Michael O'Sullivan for the ride on Spanish Harlem. I haven't been impressed with the favourite's jumping this season, though, and would much rather side with Gordon Elliott's first-string COOL SURVIVOR.
Cool Survivor has only been rated one pound higher than stablemate Imagine, despite the fact that he's actually won a Listed race and finished fourth in a Grade One last time out. Sam Ewing comes in for the ride and Cool Survivor could be the most talented horse in this race.
Another runner I'm very keen on is IROKO, who I backed for the Martin Pipe at 20/1 at the ante-post stage.
Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero's star finished fourth in a couple of top juvenile races last season and has been victorious on both his starts at Wetherby this term. Greenall has said that Iroko needs soft ground, so I'm confident that this progressive five-year-old will deal with the going on day four of the Cheltenham Festival.
