Verdict

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.
  1. Front View
  2. The Bosses Oscar
  3. Column Of Fire
