Theatre Dance catches the eye here and gets the vote ahead of Legal Glory and, maybe, Lord Norman. The selection is a half-brother to four winners, including Celibate and some on the Flat, is one of the more likely types here in what does not seem to be a race with any strength in depth. A half-brother to Big Rob, Legal Glory won well on his Hereford debut and looks set to go well again today. The Philip Hobbs-trained Goscar Rock cost 45,000 euros and has a likeable pedigree, while Adlestrop is related to some good winners and showed some promise on her racecourse debut. Finally, Sir Rembrandt's half-brother Lord Norman attracts some interest but, once again, the vote goes to Theatre Dance.
