Verdict

Don't Panic is a tricky ride but Conor O'Farrell coaxed him home at Uttoxeter two weeks ago and Jack Doyle will try and produce him late here. Headly's Bridge scrambled home at Towcester last month and should get the strong pace he needs here but Granville Island disappointed on good ground when favourite at Wetherby last time while C&D winner Marchand D'Argent is still struggling to recapture his best. A winner twice over 2m here on the Flat, it took a while for SPINNING WATERS to take advantage of a tumbling mark over hurdles but he stayed on nicely to score over C&D last month and, though that wasn't a great contest, can post a follow-up with Matt Griffiths' claim again in his favour. Mujamead is usually in the firing-line and looks best of the rest.
