Pipers Legend, Rudinero and Feeling Real are the trio to focus on, with PIPERS LEGEND taken to put a long losing run behind him. Rudinero has been running well of late and his second last time was a solid effort. He is going the right way and will be a threat. Feeling Real comes here on the back of a winning point to point, but though his confidence may be high, his performances under rules are moderate. Pipers Legend is 2lbs lower than when finishing fourth at Bangor recently. Initially that looked no more then a decent run, but two subsequent winners have emerged from the race and Pipers Legend is taken to double his winning tally in one fell swoop.
