Verdict
Theatre Dreams will cut out most of the running here for a yard that has had five winners in the last four years at this meeting and has the festivals leading jockey in Andrew Lynch aboard. Young Turk and Born To Size should be on most shortlists, but preference is for SHARPS CHOICE, third of 10, beaten 3L in Sligo maiden and has leading trainer/jockey combo.
