C&D winner in the distant past and well handicapped on his old form. Beaten 6½L over C&D when last seen in action in July last year and probably best watched on his seasonal debut.

Successful over hurdles at Market Rasen last month. Well beaten in all seven starts on the Flat for previous yard including at Redcar last August and worth a check in the market with the ground likely to suit.

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)

Verdict

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.
  1. Petrify
  2. Thomas Blossom
