      Verdict

      Indian Skipper and Billy Red both run the track well however the vote is given to THEATRE STREET who also has a good course record. Simon Dow's Invincible Spirit filly has been off the track for 156 days but she has won fresh before and she can still be competitive off her current mark of 77. She is well-drawn with a good jockey booked and a bold bid is expected. Halsion Chancer has also been off for a while but again he is a regular here ad the yard are in better form now than when last seen. Incomparable ran well on his reappearance and is considered despite looking handicapped up to this hilt, Timeteam and Billy Red also come here in good nick, whilst Indian Skipper never looked happy on the fibresand at Southwell midweek. Tin Cha Woody has been tumbling down the weights but for good reason and this Irish challenger has to race from out of the weights today which makes life tough. Methaaly is now just 1lb above his last winning mark, however the nod is given to Theatre Street.
