17:30 Cheltenham

The Martin Pipe is always fiercely competitive and there are obviously plenty of dangers but I do think ANSWER TO KAYF is a nice bit of value at around 9/1 at the time of writing. This son of Kayf Tara has won 2 of his last 4 and kept on strongly to win at Naas last month. He makes his handicap debut off a mark of just 137 and I think that looks lenient. He carries a nice weight and comes out well on the trends. He travels strongly so I think he’ll be suited by the hustle and bustle of this race and I’m expecting a big run. Waterford Whispers beat the selection at Fairyhouse and didn’t do much wrong when runner-up at Leopardstown so looks one of the main dangers. At bigger prices What’s Up Darling and Stuzzikini could both go well for Gordon Elliott who targets this race.
