Colin Tizzard has his string in good form so the claims of Chepstow winner Theatre Guide have to be taken seriously. Sarsfield's Ride shaped with some promise when third at Gowran while Lough Roe Lady filled the same position on her debut at Limerick last month but there are some very interesting newcomers facing the starter here including the Flat-bred Captain Arceus and Tile Lady, who is a half-sister to bumper winner Haggle Twins. Willie Mullins has two in this, however, as well as one of the reserves and is fancied to land the spoils with PIQUE SOUS. Katie Walsh's mount is half-brother to three winners and sure to know his job at the first time of asking.
