In this maiden, Don't Panic is selected ahead of Love Dubai and Tenancy. Fourth in a valuable contest at The Curragh last time after having shown promise on his Goodwood debut, Don't Panic might be the one to make them all go here. Love Dubai, who has been placed on each start to date, is an obvious danger. An 80,000 guineas purchase, Tenancy has to be given some thought, along with Captain Nemo, who showed promise on his Haydock debut, and Abbots Account, who is surely better than his debut suggested. The Barry Hills-trained Radical Views gets a similar comment but, in a race that has been won by some decent types in recent years, the selection is Don't Panic.
