Sixth to stablemate Ethical Diamond in the Ebor before finishing third in the Group 2 Doncaster Cup last time out, Willie Mullins' Hipop De Loire has attracted market support ahead of Saturday's Club Godolphin Cesarewitch at Newmarket. 

The eight-year-old French-bred has been clipped into 7/1 (from 10s) by Paddy Power.

Mullins' Runner Attracts Punters' Imagination

Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield said: “Given master trainer Willie Mullins has won this gruelling contest three times in the last seven years, and following the news that Bunting won’t run if it’s good to firm ground, Hipop De Loire has caught some punters’ imagination so we took defensive action given he’s from the same hugely powerful yard.”
