Verdict

Having been unable to lay a glove on Honeysuckle at the Cheltenham Festival, THEATRE GLORY should find this assignment much easier, so Nicky Henderson's 6-y-o gets the verdict to notch a first pattern success. Thyme Hill couldn't get into any sort of rhythm in the Brown Advisory last month, so he's put forward as the main danger back hurdling, with Knappers Hill completing the shortlist.

  2. THYME HILL
