      Verdict

      Just five to ponder over and PAQUET CADEAU is the pick ahead of Overbranch and Najca De Thaix. Granted, it is difficult to know just how good his French form is in relation to that of the British but his half-brother Haut De Gamme wasn't a bad old stick for Ferdy Murphy so at least there is proven ability in the family. Overbranch is a winner under these conditions. Her better form has been over 2m4f though she has won over this trip previously. Najca De Thaix is a proven mudlark. His better performances are undoubtedly in small fields such as this. Misbehaviour holds no secrets from the handicapper. Glengarra looks on the downgrade these days. Paquet Cadeau is our pick.
