PETROU has been in fine fettle over hurdles during the course of the past month, winning as recently as Friday evening at Aintree. With options fast-diminishing over the smaller obstacles, he tries fencing for the first time in a thirteen race career. Hailing from this stable, he's certain to be well schooled, and he can prove a shade too classy for the likes of Zolfo and Fair To Middling.
