Verdict

ACTION PACT continued his steady progress when off the mark over 2¼m in the mud at Pontefract recently and a 3 lb rise may not prevent him going in again. Both of Us and Rupert The Prince are other staying handicappers heading in the right direction and may give the selection most to think about.

5	Steadily improving in handicaps, coming good at Pontefract (2¼m, soft) 17 days ago at the expense of the re-opposing Ruler Legend.

8	Third success of a productive autumn when comfortably seeing off 8 rivals at Newcastle 14 days ago on his first attempt at 2m. Raised another 6 lb but he's very much unexposed as a stayer. 2nd Pick 8 Both Of Us (Ire) Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: George Boughey J: Billy Loughnane T: George Boughey	96	-	-	-	34%

10	Has made good progress in handicaps, making it 3 wins in his last 5 starts when making all over 17f at Bath (good) 14 days ago. A further 5 lb rise is offset by Warren Fentiman's claim.
