No Winter Of Discontent for Pipe Followers

4.40 Cheltenham - Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle (2m110y)

Much the hardest event of the entire week to handicap, the Fred Winter can be a graveyard for followers of the market, but this is a race which tends to be run at a furious gallop, and it’s paid to stick to classy ex-Flat racers who are better able to cope with the frenetic pace that their NH-bred counterparts. One who looks to have been laid out for this is David Pipe’s UNANIMITE, who ran well from a mark of 94 on the Flat in December. He has had only the minimum number of runs over hurdles to require a mark, winning a modest affair at Market Rasen in September, and was trying to concede weight to Golden Doyen and Hargam in the Prestbury Hurdle here in November. He is bed to appreciate a fast surface, and avoided deep ground when trained by Keven Borgel in France.
