Verdict
The ex-Irish THEO (NAP) was well supported on his first start for Richard Newland at Worcester on Wednesday and his supporters had few concerns as he came home in good style. He escapes a penalty and consequently looks very well treated. Pongo Twistleton won easily at Huntingdon but was treading water when falling at the last at Ffos Las and While You Wait has gone up 6lb for scrambling home at Towcester. Richard Johnson's presence on Arty Campbell suggests a return to form could be imminent while the lightly-raced Sierra Oscar didn't get the best of runs here last time after his Huntingdon victory.
