This looks to be a good opportunity for Green Day Packer, who is selected ahead of Amazing Knight and Fire In Cairo. Pat Haslam is a rare visitor to these parts which is a tip in itself and Green Day Packer does have the form in the bag. He landed a juvenile contest at Sedgefield back in August. He has taken on much better opposition than this since and if he jumps better than he did last time out he should collect here. Amazing King is a consistent enough performer and should again be capable of reaching the frame. Stable-mate of the selection Fire In Cairo was very highly tried on her hurdles debut and it would be no surprise to see this one run well at decent odds. There are plenty of newcomers here and the best of them could be Art Gallery, but of course the market will give a good guide towards his chances. However Green Day Packer already has winning brackets and he can go in again this afternoon.
