Owner Bryan Drew is hoping Panic Attack's dream season can end in Randox Grand National glory in April.
She tops Timeform's weight-adjusted ratings for the race following the publication of the weights on Tuesday but has a date in the Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase at Cheltenham prior to the Aintree marathon.
Speaking on Wednesday's Nick Luck Daily Podcast, Drew said: “She’s currently number 46 of 47, ten stone five, and last year that weight was was numbers 32 and 33 so I think it’s going to be quite tight for Aintree. I’m glad we’re concentrating initially on Cheltenham.
“There are four weeks between the two days this year so you have a chance to do both and I think she’ll be very exciting. Her performances this year have been transformational. She’s come off a run of little niggles into Dan and has had a good run of feeling good about herself.
“She likes the regime at Dan’s and if you’d told me this time last year that she’d have gone three wins on the bounce including the Paddy Power Gold Cup and the Coral Gold Cup, and now be off 147, I’d have said you’d had a knock on the head or something!
“It’s been amazing. She’s in great form, flying around the yard and in some ways we wish the mares' race was next week rather than in a few weeks’ time.
“It’s right to prioritise the mares’ chase at the moment because we could hold off for the Grand National and she might not get in and that would be a let-down and given the form she’s in we have to make the most of her this year.
“She’s ten and a joy to own. She’s in the form of her life.”
Demand ready to revive at Cheltenham
And Drew is expecting to see the real Final Demand in action at Cheltenham following his well-publicised blow-out at the Dublin Racing Festival.
“I spoke to Willie yesterday and he said he’s improving. He was a bit down on himself after the race at Leopardstown. He definitely wasn’t himself and I’ve listened to a lot of commentators say he’s been found out and hadn’t beaten anything up to that point and finally exposed for what he is," he said.
“But I don’t buy that. I think he’s better than he showed at Leopardstown and a lot of people whose opinion I respect agree so I’m going with that.
"Willie said yesterday he’s having a lot of fresh air and working better and he said we’ll get him turned round and back to his old self for the Festival and the market tends to agree with that hypothesis. He’s still about 7/2 favourite for the Brown Advisory."
