17/2
High-class chaser in 2019/20 for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Returned for new yard with good Aintree second behind Clan Legend, only to fold tamely at Cheltenham next time. Hood goes on back from break now.

Seen just twice again since his Haydock Grade 2 novice chase success a year ago, well backed but running no sort of race at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Plenty to prove.

9/4
Useful hurdler and quickly even better over fences, scoring at Newcastle before good seconds at Wetherby and Musselburgh. Fitting of cheekpieces should help and he can go well back up in trip.

Dual novice chase winner last term, including here. Fine second on return and suffered a luckless exit at Wetherby next time. Not so good at Haydock latest but these are calmer waters. Respected.

10/1
Likeable veteran who landed 20f Aintree handicap (for second year running) in gutsy fashion from Riders Onthestorm in December. Not so good at Ayr next time but 3 lb drop will help this course winner.

4/1
Has quickly made up into a fairly useful chaser, making it 2 wins from 3 starts this term in 21.1f Sedgefield handicap 5 weeks ago. This is much tougher up 7 lb but he remains unexposed.

Forecasts

Pay The Piper (9/4), Empire Steel (7/2), The Mighty Arc (4/1), Silver Hallmark (9/2), Riders Onthe Storm (17/2), Clan Legend (10/1)

Verdict

There are more races in PAY THE PIPER and the fitting of cheekpieces could help him after his late wobble at Musselburgh last time. He can resume winning ways, with Empire Steel and veteran Clan Legend feared most.
