    Verdict

    There's No Panic is useful but has a mind of his own, as he demonstrated when attempting to run out here in May. He stays well, however, and wouldn't be far away on his best behaviour. Rendl Beach took a crashing fall at the last when upsides the winner here last time and that may have affected his confidence and he's more exposed than KING BORU. The latter was beaten when unseating his rider on his chasing bow at Uttoxeter but may be worth another chance given he'll have needed that run and can compete here off his hurdling mark. Royal Native tackles fences for the first time but could also be well treated and it would be no surprise to see him involved at the business end with a clear round.
