Verdict

PIED PIPER and Knight Salute fought out a thrilling finish to the Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree in the spring and look the pair to focus on. Knight Salute was awarded that race but Gordon Elliott's charge, who was third in the Triumph, is the one with scope to improve further this season and can make a winning return.
