Theatre Territory made her debut under Rules in a Listed race at Cheltenham and was far from disgraced in finishing third. She'll be fancied to open her account here but Grand Turina and TEAROFCLEWBAY were both impressive making winning starts at Wetherby and Uttoxeter respectively and it's Philip Hobbs' mare who is fancied to double her tally with Conor Smith taking off a valuable 7lb. Calling Des Blins won a minor contest at Angouleme just under a year ago but may need this.
