The Package hs been given a bog chance by the handicapper and looks terrific each-way value at 16/1 in the 4.40 at Cheltenham today.
Dvid Pipe’s 12-year-old has run some of his best races at the track and is 1-1 at the venue over this afternoon’s trip.
The Package also ran a cracker last year to finish third of 23 to Holywell at this meeting off a mark of 141 and is now able to race off 4lb lower.
His current mark of 137 is the lowest he has raced off in five years, and gives the veteran major claims from a handicapping perspective.
Another plus is that The Package gets the services of Jamie Codd in the saddle who has already tasted success at the meeting when giving Cause Of Causes a superb ride to win the National Hunt Chase.
Connections are also fitting him with the blinkers for the first time, and everything looks in place for a big run.
Daily Sport recomendeed bet: 2pts each-way The Package (16/1 bet365 – BOG, 1/4 odds 1,2,3,4,5)
