Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys Handicap Hurdle Tips 2024

Run over 2 miles 4½ furlongs on the New Course at Cheltenham, the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle was established in 2009, when it replaced the traditional ‘Getting Out Stakes’, the County Handicap Hurdle, as the closing race of the Cheltenham Festival. As the name suggests, the race is restricted to conditional jockeys or, in other words, professional jockeys aged under 26 who are yet to ride 75 winners.

The last race of the 2024 Cheltenham Festival is affectionately known as the ‘Boys Race’ as it is limited to conditional kjockeys. The big talking horse here is Sa Majeste who has somehow managed to get away with an unchanged British mark of 140. However, at 4/1, with the dismal record of favourites, you really are forced to look elsewhere. JP has other notable entries with Waterford Whispers and No Ordinary Joe (look to see who Aidan Kelly gets Jocked up on). However, for the selection, I will go to Gordon again, who loves to win the race named after his mentor. I am hoping Danny Gilligan will be on BETTER DAYS AHEAD (14/1) who went off 10/1 for the Champion Bumper last year. He was beaten just 5 lengths by Slade Steel in a Navan Grade 2 and on his last start was 10 lengths behind Supreme Dark Horse Asian Master (giving him 15 pounds). I think that this could be a well-hatched year-long plan for Gordon and as a 140 rated, 6 year old Irish Novice, he fits all the trends.  Selection: Better Days Ahead at 14/1 with bet365’s Cheltenham offer.
