What they say

David Pipe This article is about the Welsh football player. For David Pipes, see David Pipes.
David Pipe (born November 5 1983 in Caerphilly, Wales) is a professional football player. He currently plays for Bristol Rovers.
, trainer of Tamarinbleu

"We thought we'd go over hurdles as his rating is a bit lower. He's down in class and he's schooled well over hurdles at home. The trip will be fine."

Keith Goldworthy, trainer of Hills Of Aran

"He's earned his handicap rating with his consistency. The course will suit him better than some tracks and we plan to make it a good test of stamina."

Gary Moore, trainer of Numide

"I'm glad the top horse stayed in as he's got a lovely weight. I don't think he'll have a problem with the ground and he's stepping up in trip. I wouldn't try it anywhere else, but he should be okay here."

Philip Hobbs, trainer of Warsaw Pact Warsaw Pact

Military alliance of the Soviet Union, Albania (until 1968), Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, formed in 1955 in response to West Germany's entry into NATO.

    , trainer of Little Edward

    "He ran too free last time over six furlongs so drops back to the minimum. He should run a solid race."

    Michael Blanshard, trainer of The Jobber

    "He ran well over course and distance on his last run and still holds the fivefurlong sprint record at Leicester. He shows all his old sparkle at home."

    , trainer of Harry Up

    "He loves it round Wolverhampton, but I'm concerned about the draw, as it makes life tough over five furlongs."

    Michael Mullineaux, trainer of Methaaly

    "He likes the course and trip, but the wide draw is a bit disappointing."

    Eric Alston, trainer of Foxy Music

    "He needs it soft, so the all-weather surface should suit, but the draw could have been kinder."

    David Nicholls, trainer of Northern Bolt

    "He seems well and is only lightly raced."

    Richard Fahey, trainer of Bo McGinty

    "He never runs a bad race. He loves the surface and should run his race again."
