Majadou victory in the pipeline

Majadou can write Martin Pipe's name in the record books yet again with victory in the Murphy's Gold Cup at Cheltenham today. The exciting young chaser is poised to give his trainer a fourth career win in the first big chase of the jumps season, matching the mark set by Fred Rimell in the 1960s.

He has credentials uncannily similar to Challenger du Luc and Cyfor Malta, who lifted the prize for Pipe in 1996 and 1998 respectively.

Majadou's guaranteed to be spot-on for today's £85,000 contest, which Pipe also won with Beau Ranger in 1987.
