Question marks surrounding most of these and perhaps an ideal opening for Brian Meehan's PACK IT IN after posting a much-improved effort when third at Lingfield last time despite racing wider than ideal. He remains on the same mark and, with De Sousa now taking over in the plate, he could have too much for the likes of Golden Isles and Thello.
