Theatre Territory^v1⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr Sam Waley-Cohen⁽³⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 132

10/11

Has been runner-up five times since her solitary success. Had some smart horses behind her at Cheltenham in November and had little chance at the weights last time. Visor applied and this her easiest task in a while.

Form: 233-242

Molly Childers^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 129

13/8

Useful hurdler last term who has taken well to chasing. Good effort on return from wind surgery and meets rivals with a bit to prove.

Form: 2-22232

Two Smokin Barrels²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore| OR: 126| CD

5/1

C&D winner with an overall record of 6-16. All those victories have come on slower ground and she would not want this to turn tactical.

Form: 2175-44

Forecasts

Theatre Territory (10/11), Molly Childers (13/8), Two Smokin Barrels (5/1)

Two Smokin Barrels is passed over on this ground but her two rivals are difficult to split. Both have shown the speed to be competitive over shorter should this turn tactical, whilst both have been hard to win with since their last victory. Theatre Territory faces an easier task than of late, but MOLLY CHILDERS looks a more honest type and gets the vote on that score.
