PAY THE PIPER improved again when making a successful handicap debut, despite a few mistakes, at Wetherby 12 days ago. A subsequent 8 lb rise is fair so the 4-timer may well be within reach. Mick Maestro has also had a good season and is feared most, though Ilaya is back on her last winning mark and is dangerous if she's been freshened up by a break.
