It was a muddling tempo and it caused a lot of tight, rough racing. There was high drama throughout and Banbridge was in the right place, out of all the mess, and a clear passage has allowed him to win the race.
17:30 Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle
1 Banbridge (M M McDonagh) 12-1
2 Cobblers Dream (Jack Andrews) 12-1
3 Hollow Games (J C Gainford) 9-2
4 Freedom To Dream (Liam Harrison) 20-1

My eyes are drawn to Adamantly Chosen and Chemical Energy.
Adamantly Chosen is in third but Hollow Games is making gains out wide.

All of the fancied horses are in a similar place at the moment.
Bigz Belief leads with Banbridge up into second but there's a couple of loose horses coming to the front.
Grand Jury also fell early doors.
Bigz Belief is the leader.
Langer Dan, the well-backed favourite, is down at flight two!
But after a short delay the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle is under way!

The Best Mate Enclosure at the moment is a bit like the London Stadium last night.
Everybody in the whole course is enjoying it and the chanting.
Chemical Energy is checked as the field waits at the start.
