Formscan By John O'Riordan - PIED PIPER should prove very difficult to beat here if taking to fences. Gordon Elliott's seven-year-old, who was a graded hurdler in his prime, showed that he retained plenty of ability, when reaching the frame in big-field handicaps both over flights and on the Flat in more recent times. Connections have opted to make the switch to chasing at this stage of his career and it could prove fruitful. Encanto Bruno, had excuses when pulled up on his chasing debut at Gowran Park in October. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding can exploit any potential chinks in the selections armour. Point-to-point winner Binge Worthy can take minor honours.
