Verdict
Qualypso D'Allier came right back to form on his first start for Richard Woollacott at Worcester in July but whether he'll prove as effective on this quicker surface is anybody's guess. No Panic appears to have lost his way but Iheardhu has place claims again and Baily Storm took advantage of a tumbling mark at Market Rasen, though has gone up 7lb since. PAIRC NA GCAPALL has ground and trip in his favour and, though he doesn't win very often, could be the pick of the weights today, though it would be no surprise to see Or Sing About make a bold bid from the foot of the handicap and he makes more appeal than Persian Run.
