Formscan - Pay The Piper capitalised on a falling mark when winning at Musselburgh last month and the eight-year-old is not taken lightly off 6lb higher. However, preference is for CALICO, who was last seen giving the classy Jonbon a fright in the Grade 2 Kingmaker Novices' Chase at Warwick and a 1lb nudge in the ratings may underestimate his ability. C&D winner Xcitations has been in good form and makes most appeal of the remainder.
