RACING POST VERDICT
The Piper's Call returned from a 333-day layoff to win a maiden here, backed by 2yo form since boosted at Group level; his handicap debut mark looks fair. Real Encounter and Nakamura both come here with recent close-up efforts at a similar level and are the main threats in what is a competitive 16-runner contest. The Piper's Call is our selection.
