PIPERSTOWN clicked this time last year and he duly returned to form when bagging a C&D handicap last week. He has a bit more on his plate on these terms but the 5-y-o may nevertheless be equal to the task. Midnight Call and Superior Council both score highly in terms of consistency and they rate the main dangers.
