Verdict

Sellers here are usually well contested and this event is no different despite there being only eight runners due to go to post. TORA PETCHA has a bit to find at the weights but is preferred to Idarah and Mulaazem. Reg Hollinshead's runner has finished in the money on half of his eight visits here, including when runner-up in this grade on his penultimate start. He failed to run up to his best in a handicap at the track last time when the run may have come too soon but should go well back in this grade. He would be 6lbs better off with Idarah in a handicap and the Quinlan runner has to be feared as he takes a marked drop in class. The yard has hit the target with three of their eight runners at the track and he could easily be number four. Mulaazem ran one of his better races over this course and distance last time but it's a little offputting that he has yet to get his head in front although we shouldn't crab him too much as he has only had seven starts. Cornell Precedent is the best of the rest at the figures but none are dismissed out of hand; the market as ever will be interesting but Tora Petcha would appear to be a rock solid selection.
