Petrify⁴

Weight: 9-5| Age: 7

T: B J Llewellyn J: David Probert

Forecasts

Sigurd (15/8), Petrify (5/2), Powderonthebonnet (7/2), Thomas Blossom (7/2), Kashgar (9/1), Cold Fusion (9/1), Taroum (16/1), L Frank Baum (20/1), Rob's Legacy (25/1)

PETRIFY registered his third career success when winning over an extended 1m3f at Bath earlier this week and he can follow that up by taking this concluding second division of the 2m handicap. The selection won over 1m4f here twice last year and can see off Thomas Blossom who has placed on each of his two previous starts in 2017 with Powderonthebonnet another of interest wearing cheekpieces for the first time in this.
