Nicky Henderson has a good record at the track which can be further improved by THEATRE GLORY. The Fame And Glory filly made a pleasing debut when making all to land a Worcester bumper back in May and this looks a good starting point for her over hurdles against her own sex. Stable representatives rarely suffer from a lack of fitness after a break. Chosen Port hails from a yard in cracking form and has shown more than enough in four bumper starts to be a danger, whilst Miss Mcgugen has yet to spark for her new yard and Global Famenglory looks more of a long-term project at present. Taragrace wasn't disgraced last time and her yard is in top nick.
