FAV in Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle Racing Odds

The current favourite in Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle odds is LANGER DAN at a quote of 9/2* (odds recorded at 16:12 GMT on March 17th, 2022 at Bet365).

He was the runner up in last year’s Martin Pipe. He should be a lot sharper for having had its reappearance run three weeks ago.

Langer Dan is also down 3lb so should be in the frame.

Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle Betting Contenders

BANBRIDGE probably has a big race in him. On his latest run, he took a good victory at Navan in a minor event, beating Au Fleuron.

This is a better trip for him and he has a chance from 14/1* (odds recorded at 16:12 GMT on March 17th, 2022 at Bet365).

EARLOFTHECOTSWOLDS can’t be totally written out of this, and he warmed up with a win on the flat last weekend.

There were a couple of scores by him over the timbers in November and could get get there.

I A CONNECT is a good front runner and with the right tactics can open up this field.

He scored at Punchestown over the hurdles four months ago, his third win in four efforts this season.

I A Connect looks like a reasonable option at 12/1* (odds recorded at 16:12 GMT on March 17th, 2022 at Bet365).

Others to note

HOLLOW GAMES is a tough and likeable competition and won his first four runs under Rules.

He has since gone up to Grade 1 the last twice and ran with credit in each to take a place finish. Hollow Games should be a big player.

ADAMANTLY CHOSEN bolted up to score easily at Thurles last month.

The former bumper winner should have a lot more to offer now as he moves up in trip. He travels well, so if he settles, he should be in it.

The final selection to consider is DECIMATION who should be better for having had his season opener. That was also his first step into handicapping.

More should follow from Decimation who offers some interesting each-way interest at 40/1* (odds recorded at 16:12 GMT on March 17th, 2022 at Bet365).
