A fiercely competitive opener could go the way of MR BIG SHOT for David Pipe. He caught the eye last month at Cheltenham on his reappearance and has scope for improving now stepped up in trip. With the extra sharpness on his side, he is one to pay close attention to. Dream Berry finished just in front of him in that race and similar sentiments can be attached to him. Debece hasn't been sighted since a fine effort in a Grade 1 novice over C&D a year ago and must be respected while Louis' Vac Pouch, Connetable and in-form Now Mcginty have their merits.
