A smooth winner on his seasonal debut at Cheltenham two weeks ago, Pied Piper should follow-up for Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy in the Grade 2 WKD Hurdle on the opening day of Down Royal’s two-day November meeting.
Elliott has declared both Pied Piper and Fil Dor for today’s feature. But it will come as no surprise if only one of the 147-rated four-year-olds runs.
Pied Piper is following the ‘Champion Hurdle route’ and could hardly have been more impressive in his recent comeback run at Cheltenham.
