Power Pack Jack unseated his rider when favourite over C&D in October and, though successful at Carlisle subsequently, his jumping continues to hamper his progress. He could easily win if the fences don't get in the way but may not represent much in the way of value. Pairc Na Gcapall stays well but races for the first time since the autumn, while this is a big step up in distance for penalised Huntingdon winner That's The Deal and Royal Kicks hasn't shown much lately. VIN DE ROY is lightly-raced over fences and was beaten less than a length over 3m5f at Warwick earlier this month. He can defy a 4lb higher mark here.
