PAY THE PIPER (1) is consistent with two wins and four placed efforts previous six starts. Finished third in the Castleford Handicap Chase at Wetherby. Returning from a short break can bounce back. Leading contender. GIVEMEFIVE (2) started his season off well winning the Masterson Holdings Hurdle at Cheltenham in October. Placed third at Kelso on previous jumps start. Expected to challenge. JERICOACOARA (3) races second up in the UK. Finished fourth on initial outing over course and distance three weeks ago. Could struggle. BALLYGEARY (4) might fill fourth spot.
