In depth
Verdict
Caspian Piper is only a pound higher than when winning over fences last time at Worcester but he ran 11 times over hurdles in Ireland and only made the frame once. COURT KING carries a penalty for winning at Uttoxeter 10 days ago but ground and trip are again in his favour and a follow-up looks on the cards as Gabriel Oats may not have beaten much at Stratford in July, though he's possibly improving and Richard Johnson again rides. Pure Poteen hasn't raced over timber since May 2014 while Master Ally is hard to catch right.
