MAJOR PLUNGE ON IRISH RAIDER

The Willie Mullins trained Its Time For A Win is the subject of a major gamble for Saturday`s Thomas Pink Chase at Cheltenham.

The 10-Y-O gelding was backed down from 25/1 with Coral Eurobet (20/1 Paddy Powers) to a best price of 10/1.

His most recent outing would not inspire confidence as he trailed in a moderate fifth to Alcapone at Navan on 3rd November.

He was however third in last season`s Mildmay Of Fleet over the Cheltenham course beaten 2 1/2L by Blowing Wind and Lady Cricket.

Ironically the first two on that occasion were trained by Martin Pipe. He trains the favourite, Chicuelo, for Saturday`s race.
