Verdict

A useful, dual winner over hurdles, THEATRE MAN has yet to taste success over fences, but he won't be long in bucking that trend judged on his fine second in the Timeform Novices' Handicap (very strong form) over C&D in January, and with the prospect of more to come, he can prove a 3 lb rise lenient and prevail. Recent Exeter-scorer Crebilly is another of significant interest provided his jumping holds up back in handicaps, with Saint Felicien and In Excelsis Deo other improvers to note.
