Willie Mullins mare Panic Attack shoots to top of Cheltenham market after scintillating debut

A Willie Mulllins mare has shot to the top of the Cheltenham Champion Bumper market after a scintillating racecourse debut.

Panic Attack was Mullins first ever runner at Market Rasen when she lined up in the Listed Bumper on Thursday.

Sent off the 5/2 favourite, the four-year-old travelled supremely in the hands of Paul Townend and stormed clear in the straight.

It was a performance that had Irish punters piling on the horse to repeat the trick at Cheltenham.

Since the race finished, a whopping 89% of all bets in the Cheltenham market have been on Panic Attack and she is now as short at 8/1 to win at the Cotswolds.

Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: "Irish punters who nibbled on Panic Attack at 50/1 will be jumping for joy this afternoon, with the Irish-trained filly winning in emphatic style.

"A number of Irish punters were on at 50/1, and will be watching the ante-post markets with pleasure after today's win."

Champion Bumper odds: 

Panic Attack - 12/1

Eric Bloodaxe - 14/1

Isreal Champ - 14/1 

Ferny Hollow - 16/1

Farouk DAlene - 16/1 Appreciate It - 16/1 Give Star Brian - 20/1
