David Pipe is on the hunt for a promising young jockey, Rian Corcoran, who is set to make a splash at the Cheltenham Festival. With a strike-rate of 31% over the last fortnight, Corcoran is quickly rising through the ranks. But here's where it gets interesting: Pipe is looking to pair Corcoran with a ride in the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle, a race that could be a turning point for the 18-year-old. As a conditional jockey, Corcoran is just seven winners away from shedding his 7lb claim, and Pipe is confident in his abilities. But is this a strategic move or a risky bet? And what does the future hold for Corcoran? These are the questions that Pipe and the racing world are eagerly awaiting answers to.
