In depth
Verdict
A disappointing effort when pulled up at Wetherby in December two starts ago, Petrea has done little wrong of late and he gets the verdict over topweight Tobesure and Frankincense. The last mentioned is a consistent performer and should be thereabouts again. He is preferred to Tobesure, who seems to be in the grip of the handicapper now. Len Lungo's Captain's Leap has not had a great deal of racing this season and comes here fresher than most, while Amber Moss showed his best form for some time when chasing home Suggest at Musselburgh last month. Celtic Flow also ran well last time but has it to do from 8lbs out of the weights proper and we are happy to side with Petrea.
