PETTOCHSIDE is more than double the age of all his rivals but there's little doubt that the fires are still burning brightly and he should give apprentice find Harry Davies a cracking ride as he looks very well treated taking into account his rider's claim. He also ran a cracker the time before at Ascot. Alice Haynes continues to rattle in the winners and The Cola Kid only went down narrowly at Leicester a few days ago. Strike also continues to perform with credit and is shortlist material.
