THEATRE OF WAR put his jumping problems behind him when a close second in a huge field of maidens at Leopardstown then ran very well in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham. He should have few problems losing his maiden tag here and Pepperoni Pete was a long way behind him at Leopardstown though had a recent run on the Flat. King Pellinor, a winner on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien, may have made a winning start over timber but for falling but pulled up at Gowran in February. He's another with a run on the level behind him and could prove the main threat. Dual Flat winner Patchouli hasn't shown much in two starts over timber though her yard is in excellent form and Rachael Blackmore chooses her over stable companion Soloheadbeg.
