There has been an accident on the M5 and the lorry containing Pipe's runners at Sandown is currently stuck in the traffic. Pipe says touch and go if they can make it.
 
He'll run from 130 (currently 10-9)......if he gets in. You'd have to think he's ahead of that mark based on today's run.

He's won a maiden hurdle on Good ground, so you'd be hopeful he'd go in it whatever the going next week......if he gets in.
 
He goes up to 135 but is the bottom of the 135s so needs 20 to come out.according to racing tv.
I joined in with the 50/1 m.pipe.

The penalty will take him up to 135 and he'll be first in the pecking order of those on that rating because his new mark will be around 140.

He needs 10 to come out. Mullins has seven above him. Will he take half of them out? Will Giggi take their three out? The owner of Langer Dan could take his two (Nicholls) out, maybe? You'd expect one or two others just not to make it anyway.

I think it will be tight but he might make it. I never expected him to make the cut for the Coral Cup but never thought he wouldn't make the cut for the M Pipe.

Still it's a nice wee dream to cling on to for a few days.

It gives Botox Has, who beat Langer Dan five lengths in a juvenile hurdle a while ago, a nice form boost for that's horses chance in the Coral Cup aswell.
 
Maybe he will be entered at Kempton next weekend in one of the consolation races for those that don't get in at Cheltenham.
