In depth
Verdict
Panic Attack will probably take the beating if she’s in the same form as when scoring here just over three weeks ago, though an 11lb rise looks harsh and there are plenty of other recent winners among the opposition. Dame du Soir is one and Schiaparannie is another while Another Theatre has benefited from a switch back to hurdles and appears to have the beating of Maskada on Southwell form. MISS HERITAGE has become very reliable and has simply come up against better treated rivals the last twice. Her turn may have come around again even though she is handicapped to the peak of her abilities.
