Reacted positively to wind surgery when landing gamble in 18.5f Exeter hurdle on return. Didn't seem to stay 23f there since and this former point winner is respected now chasing back over shorter.

Showed ability in 2m novice hurdles here at the beginning of the year and this former point winner rates a possible improver now handicapping over fences on his return (has had wind surgery).

5/1
Point winner who is a potential improver for her new yard and though beaten when unseating 3 out she did travel for a long way in Leicester chase last month (not helped by badly hampered 6 out).

7/1
Modest form over hurdles but set to make a much better chaser based on her first attempt at Taunton 5 weeks ago, 4 lengths up and looking in control when falling 3 out. Off same mark.

Modest maiden hurdler who offered little on Bangor chase debut/reappearance in October. Will need to leave that run well behind.

Improved from out of the blue to score over hurdles at Uttoxeter last December but he's merely added to his patchy record when pulled up twice since. Chase debut.

9/1
Modest maiden hurdler who has been below par in handicaps this season so isn't an obvious sort to make a winning chase debut.

Forecasts

Miss Gemstone (4/1), Caspers Court (9/2), Secret Court (5/1), Muse Of Fire (5/1), Theatre Mix (7/1), Mrsgrey (9/1), Anndarrow (10/1), Astra Via (11/1), Happy News (18/1), Man Of The North (20/1), Deewhy (100/1), Hes Our Robin (150/1)

Verdict

THEATRE MIX races off the same mark as when looking firmly in control when falling 3 out at Taunton in October so she could take a bit of stopping with a clear round. Miss Gemstone hails from a good yard and rates an obvious danger after her chase debut second. Caspers Court's point background provides hope that he'll take to fences and he's also respected.
