Verdict
PURE THEATRE looks the one to beat in this on her latest second in a better race at Chepstow, though a switch to hurdles should help the winning pointer Hey Day Baby following her debut under Rules in a Southwell bumper. Luna Run is the first foal to race of a winning hurdler related to a smart winning chaser so she is one to note if the market speaks in her favour.
