Verdict

Kingswell Theatre completed a double at Kelso and Newcastle before the turn of the year but has been found out in better company since. Dropping back into ordinary novice company should see him in a better light but he might struggle to give a stone to ONENIGHTINVIENNA. The latter was returning from a year on the sidelines when caught right on the line by the rallying Bally Beaufort at Chepstow and will be tough to beat if running up to that form here. The others are a very modest bunch with Major Ridge well beaten on both occasions he's made the frame here this season.
