Verdict
Suprise Vendor won nicely at Hexham last time though has a 9lb hike to contend with. THEATRE ACT can race off the same mark as when second at Sedgefield last month and Chris Grant’s mare may well go one better in this. Baraboy never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Southwell but Snowed In ran well over these hurdles on his penultimate start and could figure again. Marcus Antonius disappointed here last time having been placed at Ayr before that.
