Long-standing maiden Tasaaboq will probably find at least one too good again but should make the frame. Gilmer and Bionic Indian also appear thoroughly exposed but Overrider could figure, though is undoubtedly better over further. PIPERS PIPING seems to get on well with Rob Hornby and was only beaten half-a-length over course and distance last month. He's been raised a couple of pounds for that but still looks the one to beat with Ballroom Angel reverting to type last time at Kempton.
