Petrichan has hit a rich vein of form and can land the hat-trick this afternoon, Stellenbosch and Princess Society look to be the main rivals. Kevin Ryan's gelding landed two mile events at Southwell last month after finally getting the hang of this game. He can only improve on what he has done so far and another success looks on the cards. Princess Society ran a blinder following a long lay off when chasing home Stonecrabstomorrow at Lingfield earlier this month. The stable looks about to hit top form and another big run can be expected. Stellenbosch is improving with racing and was an excellent third behind Prince Charlemagne last month. He does have to give weight away all round but should still be involved in the finish.
