SOUTHFIELD THEATRE was a decent hurdler but is already proving better over fences. He drew clear of a couple of potentially useful rivals in a Grade 2 at Wincanton earlier this month and should be able to give the weight away to Exeter runner-up Carraig Mor, though Alan King's charge is also one to follow this winter. Ex-pointer My Silver Cloud was tailed off on his fencing bow at Plumpton and will probably be left behind by his two rivals here as well barring accidents.
