With Indian Hawk proving very hit or miss, it's anyones guess if he's well-handicapped or not and Le Breuil looks a safer alternative having not disgraced himself in last month's Coral Cup. For all that, THEATREBAR could prove the pick of the weights here after a light campaign which saw him finish a runner-up from this mark at Sedgefield last time out in October. The gelding goes well fresh and, with the Skelton yard in flying form, he could take some stopping over his optimum trip on ideal ground.
