PIPE TO UNVEIL ARKLE HOPE Martin Pipe is set to unveil a possible Cheltenham Festival contender in Ilnamar next week.The five-year-old is yet another horse to be recruited by the champion trainer from France.He is entered in the Sporting Edge Novices' Chase at Kempton on Monday and the Taunton Racecourse Conference Centre Novices' Chase at Taunton the following day.Ilnamar, who will carry the colours of Joe Moran, is entered in the Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy and the Royal & SunAlliance Chase at the Festival."He's only been with us a few weeks and I don't know a great deal about him," said Pipe."But he comes to us after winning two chases in France and he has schooled well so far."We'll have to see how he comes along and it's impossible to say at this stage what his Cheltenham target will be."Ilnamar is a 12-1 chance for the Arkle Trophy with bookmakers William Hill.
