72783008.jpg Punters appear convinced that can land his first Festival victory on day one of Cheltenham.

The money has been pouring in for two of his 14 entries in the William Hill Trophy Chase, a race which is not among the 34 Festival successes gained by his record-breaking father, Martin.

The Pipe-trained Little Brick (8) is now vying for favouritism with the Christy Roche-trained Far From Trouble (7.4) in the three-mile contest, while the out-of-form Commercial Flyer has been well backed into third best at 12.

The ex-French Little Brick has had just one race since joining Pipe, beating My Will in the Country Gentleman's Chase at Wincanton last month.

Commercial Flyer has not completed the course in his last four starts but two seasons ago he ran up a sequence of five consecutive hurdles victories in the space of a month.
