Verdict
Pocket The Packet has been in good form over shorter trips though is 7lb higher than when last winning and needs to improve on his only previous start over 7f. Evolicatt won a couple of claimers at the end of last year though was beaten in handicaps in between and RESILIENT POWER (NAP) gets another chance. The latter scored at Wolverhampton before going close again at Chelmsford and returns to his winning trip. Marco Botti has sent out the winner of both previous renewals and States Of Thunder is preferred to Hiatus and Lady Miller.
