Ms Parfois (9/2), Timeforwest (9/2), Theatre Territory (6/1), Song Saa (6/1), Twenty Eight Guns (6/1), Sparkling River (13/2), Viking Mistress (12/1), Sheer Poetry (12/1), Tara Mac (25/1)

Verdict

THEATRE TERRITORY could be a smart chaser in the making and is likely to take a big step forward from chase debut last time. Her jockey, Sam Waley Cohen is well worth the 3lb he takes off in the saddle and it would be no surprise if he can get a tune out of her around here. There was plenty to like about Sheer Poetry's win over Song Saa two starts back and while she's not been missed by the handicapper, her hurdles effort here last time was encouraging enough. Sparkling River shouldn't be ruled out, particularly if she can get an easy lead and a 4lb rise for her latest win looks fair.
  1. Theatre Territory
