David Pipe’s yard has been among the winners in the last week and there should be more to come from AWESOMEDUDE now handicapping having won a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon in good style. Duke Of Luckley opened his account over timber with a course and distance victory but has a 9lb hike to contend with but Onesoc can race off the same mark as when runner-up at Uttoxeter. Courtandbould folded tamely in the closing stages at Ludlow last time and blinkers are applied.
