Dynaste has Cleeve option

DAVID PIPE has earmarked next month’s Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham as a likely target for Dynaste.

The bold jumping grey tried to make all in the Lough Derg Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday, with Dynaste appearing to be a serious danger to Big Buck’s before the champion picked up in his usual impressive style.

Dynaste paid for his early exertions and faded into fourth but Pipe was satisfied with his first outing in Grade One company.
