Verdict

Pipers Piping looks in need of a little more help from the handicapper if he's to get his head back in front, though he did have Symphonic Dancer well behind when runner-up at this track last month. Arkaim also looks high enough in the weights now having finished second on his last three starts, but Dashing Eddie may yet be capable of better. He won twice on the Fibsresand last month with top weight D'URBEVILLE behind on one occasion, but the latter re-opposes on 7lb better terms today and gets the vote on only his second start after more than a year off the track.
