Verdict

THEATRE ONE was a beaten favourite in his previous five point-to-points before winning one easily on the points course at Fairyhouse so he could be well handicapped. He was entered in the following hunter-chase so his presence here is interesting. Mollies Gent has a poor strike-rate and is better handicapped over hurdles but quicker ground should bring about some improvement in Prosperity Square. Willow Grange wasn't far behind Presenting Julio, who runs in the previous race, at Tramore last month and a repeat would see him thereabouts but a career strike-rate of 1-44 doesn't inspire confidence. Town Pond is in the veteran stage and hasn't won since scoring here over two years ago but last year's winner Redclue very nearly followed up off a 15lb higher mark on the track and will have been tuned up with a recent run over timber.
