THEATRE FLAME has a very nice pedigree and has very few miles on the clock. He was snapped up by David Bridgwater after finishing second on his hurdling debut at Clonmel last month and should take all the beating if handling the drop in trip. Silent Movie only ran three times on the Flat for Mark Johnston and was last on both occasions after winning on Polytrack. He's best watched after a long break but while fellow hurdling newcomer Uncle Bernie was best on artificial surfaces on the level. Micras and Bumble Bay should have benefited from runs at Worcester and looks best of the rest.
