Pipe excited by Long Walk challenge

DAVID Pipe is excited at the prospect of Dynaste taking on the brilliant stayer Big Buck’s in the Lough Derg Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday.

While admitting Paul Nicholls’ superstar will be very hard to beat, the Nicholashayne trainer has vowed to make a race of it.

Dynaste has plenty to do on official ratings but he looked on the upgrade when storming to victory in a fixed brush handicap hurdle at Haydock last month.
