Verdict

A deeper renewal than usual with the vote going to PANIC ATTACK, who has been transformed by this yard and receives weight from most of her rivals. Last year's winner Dinoblue has looked as good as ever this season and is the obvious threat, with her stablemate Spindleberry also on the shortlist.

  1. PANIC ATTACK (IRE)
