In depth
Verdict
A Little Chaos probably produced a career-best when second to Sexy Lot at Haydock last time and she should again beat fifth River Icon. The winner is trained by David Pipe, who runs PANIC ATTACK in this. The five-year-old has had wind surgery since a disappointing run at Exeter in February having earlier won in decent company at Uttoxeter and Newbury. Princess T looks held on the form book but Cotton End keeps ahead of the handicapper, though will have to defy a penalty in this. Catchmeifyoucan has been off the track since well behind Whiteoak Fleur at Sedgefield in December.
