NO PANIC has been found an opportunity and he can see off Benny the Piler and Knockara Beau . A fair fourth in a Haydock beginners chase, that form is the best on offer and a repeat should suffice. Benny The Piler ran well for a long way at Wetherby before refusing at the last. He was well beaten on the day though could have claims if he consents to act around this course. Knockara Beau was a smart horse over hurdles. He is a definite player provided that the labours of a busy campaign have not caught up with him. Stop The Show is a possible front runner. He showed some improvement last time out for the application of cheekpieces. Sotovik is still a maiden over the larger obstacles after four chasing starts. Knockara Beau could well be favourite but we are prepared to chance No Panic on the basis of proven form.
