Verdict
A good run in the first division of this by George Romney, will be a boost for Russian Dune, who finished under three lengths behind him, in the race won by Cassirer at Leicester. Theatre stayed on nicely in the closing stages at Newbury and will be a threat to all, however, preference is for former stablemate Medallist, who will appreciate the underfoot conditions.
