In depth
Verdict
Theatre Girl looks the best option in this decent looking bumper, Freedom Flying and Whiteoak may provide most danger. Alan King's runners always have to be respected here and Theatre Girl should step up on her debut run. She was well supported in that Warwick event but looked in need of the run and in the end finished a seven length third to Berings Express. She should come on a bundle and looks the best option. Pat Haslam has booked Tony McCoy for Freedom Flying who is also expected to progress from her debut here last month. Meanwhile the pick of the newcomers could be Whiteoak. The yard do well in this sphere and she herself is related to numerous winners including the decent Kinnecash. Emily's Flora is another to consider for each-way purposes if supported but our idea of the winner is Theatre Girl.
