In depth
Verdict
This should concern Tioman, Overstrand and Theatre. The latter who will find this easier than the maidens he has been tackling, will be wearing blinkers for the first time. The trip should bring about a bit of improvement from Overstrand and he is taken to score at the expense of Tioman, who did little to help his jockey at Leicester.
