Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle Betting News

No ante-post market for the 2027 Martin Pipe has been formed yet. Last year’s winner Air Of Entitlement now features in the betting for both the Mares’ Hurdle and the Mares’ Chase, so a return to handicap company looks unlikely, while runner-up Hot Fuss ran a huge race at 25/1 for Tom Dascombe and could come back for another go.

Jump Allen and Kel Histoire both ran with credit for Willie Mullins, who is sure to be well represented again, while Nicky Henderson’s East India Express may be worth another chance after disappointing as favourite.
