The 2023 Cheltenham Festival comes to a close with the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle.

It is one of the newer races on the Cheltenham Festival schedule having been created in 2009 in honour of the titular former trainer. It is restricted to conditional jockeys and there are 10 flights for the runners and riders to tackle over an extended 2m4f on the New Course.

Willie Mullins is the most successful trainer in the brief history of the race having saddled four winners including a certain Galopin Des Champs in 2021.

You can run the rule over our Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
