Pocket The Packet (5/2), Evolicatt (7/2), Resilient Power (7/2), Hiatus (11/2), States Of Thunder (13/2), Lady Miller (11/1)

POCKET THE PACKET is a progressive sort who still looks fairly treated and, with this step back up in trip well worth exploring, he gets the nod to resume winning ways. Resilient Power and Evolicatt look the main threats.
