Panic Stations gave the impression that the return to this trip would suit when chasing home Jellytot at Catterick last time and Michael Bell's filly gets the vote ahead of Davidia and Hogan's Heroes. The last mentioned lost no caste in defeat behind Buzzin'Boyzee at Catterick last time but the form of that race has not worked out too well so he may be best watched. Teide Lady ran better at Wolverhampton last time and has claims if handling this surface as well, while Captain Bolsh is gradually slipping to a fair mark but needs to improve to trouble the judge. With Ralph Beckett's horses coming into form now, Carloman has to be respected along with Sylvester Kirk's improving Davidia but Panic Stations looks to be going the right way and is taken to open her account.
