Studmaster and No Where To Hyde head Trophy raid

THE Jessica Harrington trained Studmaster, who helped end a nightmare run for the stable when landing the Pierse Hurdle on Sunday, and Martin Pipe’s lightly-raced novice hurdler Acambo are 10-1 joint favourite with the sponsors for the totesport Trophy at Newbury on February 11 following the publication of the weights.

Studmaster, given just 9st 3lb plus a 4lb penalty for Sunday’s success, is also 10-1 with Coral, who make Pierse runner-up No Where To Hyde their market leader at 8-1.

No Where To Hyde (9st 10lb), trained by Christy Roche, stayed on well at Leopardstown and is 7-1 clear favourite with William Hill for the £125,000 handicap hurdle.
