Verdict
Global Thrill’s winning run came to end at Wincanton a fortnight ago having landed a double at Stratford before that. Princess Roania finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when second at Chepstow recently but is 2lb higher today so a chance is taken on THEATRE STAGE. He was having his first start since May when placed at Exeter last month and should be opening his account over hurdles this season. Flanagans Field scored over course and distance in March but is 11lb higher for this.
