Verdict
Pettochside hasn't done much wrong this year and the course and distance winner is much respected. But Robert Cowell has become expert at placing his sprinters and he may have found a good opportunity here for BAHAMIAN HEIGHTS (NAP), who won off a higher mark at Doncaster last year and hinted at a revival last time at Nottingham. Upstaging is still a maiden on Turf but has been in decent form lately. Plagiarism has claims on her third at Haydock two runs ago but Swiss Cross is not the force of old and Force needs to step up on this season's efforts.
