David Pipe hasn't sent too many runners (3-21; 14%) on the mammoth journey from Devon to Ayr over the past five years, so look no further than the hurdles newcomer QUEENS CAVE. Despite meeting a couple of mares who have already won over timber (Hidden Dilemma and Peters Cousin), this race represents a golden opportunity for this expensively purchased 6yo mare. Her Sandown Listed bumper form from March 2018 is the strongest on offer by some considerable way and she can defy the hindrance of a 300 day plus absence.
