Forecasts

Elusive Theatre (2/5), Shantou Tiger (5/2), Beech Hill (20/1), Sussex Road (50/1)

A poor turnout, and accidents aside, this is surely a match on paper. One can't help worry how Elusive Theatre will take to fences (has won a Point-to-Point), and her crunching January fall at Ayr remains freshly in mind now tackling the larger obstacles. She ought to be capable of winning this race with a clear round, but Will Kennedy might just get her off balance from the start if attempting to make all aboard SHANTOU TIGER, and we know definitively that the Donald McCain trained gelding has plenty of stamina, although probably lacks a touch of class.
