2025 Martin Pipe Entries
The top end of this betting market is taken up mainly by Irish novice hurdlers. McLaurey and Vischio claimed impressive handicap wins at the Dublin Racing Festival and both sit prominently in this wide-open betting heat.
Wingmen could drop into handicap company following a runner-up finish in the Nathaniel Lacy at Leopardstown. Gordon Elliott could also be represented by experienced novice Minella Sixo and classy mare Kala Conti. Bet365 lists The Yellow Clay as their market leader, but Gordon Elliott's star will run in either the Turners Novices' Hurdle or the Albert Bartlett.
Last year's Boodles winner, Lark In The Mornin sits high up in the betting for all of the handicap hurdles at the Cheltenham Festival. Winter Novices' Hurdle winner, Bill Joyce could drop down into handicap company. Willie Mullins could run Karniquet, providing his mark comes in under the 145-ceiling.
Course winner, Wodhooh and classy novice Bleu De Vassy could also represent Gordon Elliott in the final race on day four of the Cheltenham Festival. Other potential runners include Tony Martin's Hamsiyann, Fiercely Proud for Ben Pauling, Dan Skelton's novice Country Mile, and Nicky Henderson's East India Express.
