Supreme entry from Pipe

Martin Pipe has entered an incredible 32 horses for the Gerrard Supreme Novices` Hurdle at Cheltenham, entries for which were revealed today.

Pipe`s team for the Stg£90,000 race is headed by Westender, who already has two Cheltenham victories to his credit, and Samon who is owned by footballers Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler.

Ante-post favourite Miros, trained by Jonjo O`Neill, is also set to take a place in the line-up after scoring an impressive win in the Grade One Gerrard Tolworth Hurdle.

JP McManus could be represented by Christy Roche`s Like-A-Butterfly, who also holds an entry in the Royal & SunAlliance Novices` Hurdle.

The Irish contingent may also include Willie Mullins` Pierse Handicap Hurdle winner Adamant Approach and the former high-class Flat performer Dalampour, now with Ted Walsh after leaving Sir Michael Stoute.

The race has attracted a record 156 entries this year and Francois Doumen could add another international element to the contest with both Barito and Sir Peter O`Sullevan`s Never in the acceptors.

An interesting entry is Nicky Henderson`s Irish Hussar, who was impressive when winning a Sandown bumper last season.
