Theatre Rouge is a half-sister to Irish hurdler/chaser Sizing Solution and the choice of Richard Johnson in this ahead of stablemate IMPULSE. But it would be no surprise if James Best's mount came out on top as she also has a decent jumping pedigree and her full sister, Kayf Willow, only found one too good in this last year on her debut when almost four lengths ahead of third Fit The Brief. Tom George's mare is also worth a second look in first-time headgear while Lamanver Odyssey should be capable of building on her third at Warwick. Amber Alert has been highly tried so far and will appreciate this easier test.
