(4)

Piperstown²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: K Frost| OR: 50| D

2/1

Modest gelding. Didn't need to improve to win 12-runner minor event (3/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 22 days ago by nose from Bernie The Bear. Looks the one to beat.

Form: 3361-61

40/1

Forecasts

Piperstown (2/1), Neptune Legend (5/2), Global Effort (4/1), You Are Everything (17/2), Bernie The Bear (17/2), Glory Call (22/1), Balmy Breese (28/1), Hallie Angel (33/1), Revolucion (40/1), Safio's Princess (80/1)

PIPERSTOWN is two from his last three starts and takes on mostly out-of-form sorts, so he's the obvious choice ahead of Global Effort, who ran respectably here last time. Bernie The Bear can feature if he puts a tame effort last time behind him.
