10/1
New Approach gelding. 11/1, looked above average when winning 11-runner maiden at Southwell (12.1f) on debut, overcoming significant pace bias. Hood/tongue strap on 1st time. Off 7 months but should have more to offer.

Didn't achieve much in point bumpers and was only seventh of 8 in maiden (300/1) at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago.

11/2
Much better effort when second of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) on debut in February, pulling clear with the winner. Disappointing at Doncaster last time but worth another chance up in trip.

Bayern colt. Dam US winner up to 8.5f (minor stakes and 2-y-o 5.5f winner). Not an obvious debut winner on paper.

6/1
Camelot colt. Well backed but badly needed experience when fifth of 6 in maiden at Chester (12.3f, soft) on debut 40 days ago. Likely to improve.

Kingman gelding. Runner-up both outings, most recently in 10-runner maiden at Leicester (8.2f, good) 15 days ago. Looked shade awkward on that occasion but sets a high standard nonetheless and has benefit of top claimer aboard.

Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, improved plenty from debut third of 14 in minor event at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 26 days ago, sticking to task. Back up in trip. Should progress again.

Seahenge filly. Eleventh of 15 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f, 125/1) on debut 13 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Will make little appeal this side of handicaps.

Verdict

Runner-up on both previous outings, Godolphin's THEATRE HONOURS has shown a level of form which typically would be good enough to win a race of this nature and despite looking a shade awkward under pressure last time, he's taken to go one better and get off the mark. Quantum Leap impressed on the clock when making a winning debut last year and is highly respected after an absence, whilst Medieval Gold is surely better than he was able to show at Chester.
