Verdict
Petit Palais has won four times over hurdles, including once here, and is no forlorn hope on his chasing bow but it’s harder to make a case for Touchthesoul and Tremwedge. Placed in both starts so far over the larger obstacles, SEA PRINCE can make it third-time lucky at the chief expense of Worcester third Whispering Gypsy.
