Jam Packed has solid claims but we'll take a chance with Pacco. Jam Packed is another course specialist and he has shown pretty consistent form throughout the season. He has gone up in the weights as a result though and could prove vulnerable off topweight. Storm Prince could run into the frame but of more interest are some of the unexposed challengers. The ex-French Misamon, Jeu De Roseau and Bobby Donald are three that need monitoring in the market but we'll side with another of their number in Pacco. The selection shaped quite well in a Sandown bumper on debut but has struggled a little since then. Heavy ground may have been to blame at Plumpton whilst he has faced some stiff tasks in three runs over hurdles. He has room to work with from his handicap mark and should find this company more to his liking; Oliver Sherwood is enjoying a decent season and it would be no surprise to see Pacco make the necessary improvement.
