Verdict

A very trappy handicap for the showcase prize. The recently gelded Theatre is sure to be on many punters slips but quite what his second in maiden company over 1m5f here evaluates to is something for discussion. Noble Pasao looks to be the model of consistency at the moment and has performed creditably without winning. There are still a few nagging doubts about his stamina but his yard are sending out winners. Conundrum was third on his all-weather debut for Peter Harris. The stable have hit form in the last week though and with Hughes aboard, he should not be disregarded. King Halling is given the TEAMtalk nod at a nice price. Ben Hanbury's colt is still relatively unexposed and he does at least have winning form on the surface.
