Formscan By Gary Carson - THE PIPER’S CALL ran a big race in a Curragh maiden on debut when sent to post a massive price and this looks like a nice opportunity for him now. The Ten Sovereigns colt chased home Flushing Meadows last month and that form looks strong with the winner narrowly denied in a Group 3 contest subsequently. The third horse, North Coast, has won his maiden easily since. Ger Lyons saddles two contenders and it’s no surprise to see him claim 7lb off Down Royal winner Sir Alfie as he was set to carry a welter burden. That Dark Angel colt can confirm form with stablemate Howd'yadoit, who was behind him in third last time.
