PAC IT IN is a nicely-bred filly and she’s been steadily improving in bumpers. She is a half-sister to a couple of winning jumpers and may be some value against likely favourite Skin Deep, who won a bumper at Worcester last month but has form that ties in closely with David Weston’s four-year-old. Silk Run has plenty of experience and was favourite for a novices’ handicap at Cartmel in June while Northern Beau has been placed in five of his seven hurdles starts and is unlikely to be far away again.
