Forecasts

THEATRE NATIVE shaped well on her first run in this sphere when third at Tipperary and can build on it here and add to her fairly useful hurdling success. Willie Mullins' Mount Sinai also has the form to play a part and is next on the list with St Faz, Springt de La Mare and Cayd Boy in the mix too.
