Formscan - PAY THE PIPER was far from disgraced in third in a stronger contest at Wetherby in December and goes off an unchanged mark. With two previous C&D victories in the book, the veteran is likely to prove very tough to beat. Primoz struck at this level at Wetherby in October and finished a fair third at Ayr last month, so he has to be respected. Escapeandevade sports first-time blinkers and will need to bounce back after his sixth at Haydock.
