In depth
Verdict
Cool Panic is steadily improving and can land this maiden from Benedict and Sant Jordi. The selection is a typical Michael Bell juvenile, progressing nicely with his racing and could be spot on for this. His recent second behind Persian Rock over course and distance has received numerous compliments and a big run is expected. Sant Jordi showed plenty of promise on his debut when finishing third behind Afrashad at Lingfield and should come on for the run. Meanwhile Sir Michael Stoute is flying at the moment so all his runners have to be given consideration. He runs the newcomer Benedict a son of Derby winner Benny The Dip. Middle distances will be his forte next season, but he could still go close against this opposition. Best of the others could be Jamie Osborne's once raced Brooklime, but Cool Panic is going the right way and is taken to oblige.
