Verdict

Olympic Theatre is almost certain to run his race again but it will be a surprise if the Cheveley Park gelding doesn’t find at least one too good again. Eagles Dare started favourite at Nottingham last month but was far too keen while Eagle Springs was beaten in a match at Southwell. HOLLYWOOD LADY was only beaten a nose at Newbury when making her debut on Turf. The third was second in the Pretty Polly on her next start and she could be thrown in here on a mark of 70. Marsden Cross looks to be improving and there should be more to come this year from Pride Of Nepal.
