13:15 Newbury

The lightly raced THEATRE MAN was in really good form when last seen bolting up over hurdles at Kempton. He won 2 of his last 3 starts last season and has a fair bit of potential now heading over fences. A mark of 132 should be well within reach and I think he’ll go close here for Richard Bandey.

I do think this is a good race but that is why we’re getting decent odds about the selection. The danger could turn out to be Knowsley Road who was heavily beaten at this track when last seen but he is another one that should make a chaser and we know he goes well fresh too. Of the rest Inch House could be interesting if managing to jump better.
