Kopeck Des Mee Has The Poor Martin Pipe Hurdle Favourites Stat To Overcome 135d26

The Willie Mullins-trained Kopeck De Mee has been a big talking horse ahead of the Cheltenham Festival and being the last race – the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle – he could go off a silly price.

However, the JP McManus-owned 5 year-ol Kopeck De Mee does falls down on a trend that streches back to 2011.

This is because he’s expected to be sent off the clear favourite with the best betting sites in the UK – and this Festival race hasn’t been good to the market leader recently.

The race is one of just two Cheltenham Festival races with NO winning favourite in the last ten runnings.

With the last jolly to win the Martin Pipe Hadnicap Hurdle Sir Des Champs back in 2011. The other poor Friday race for favourites is the Albert Bartlett, which is run on the same card.

Last year’s favourite Waterford Whispers was second at 100/30 for trainer Henry De Bromhead.

Galopin Des Champs Won The Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle in 2021 at 8/1 – Wow 1n4b34

Even the 2025 Gold Cup favourite Galopin Des Champs wasn’t sent off favourite when he won this race in 2021. But returned 8/1 which considering what he’s gone onto do, looks massive.

He had Langer Dan back in second that day, with the favourite Gentleman De Mee (4/1) only 10th.

Oh, and this season’s King George winner Banbridge won this in 2022 at 12/1.

On a plus for Kopeck De Mee, his trainer Willie Mullins is the winning-most handler in this race (4 wins) – but this non-winning favourite stat also means this exciting French recruit will need to defy a 14 year-old trend.
