Not a strong contest by any stretch of the imagination and it will be a shock if either Alrida or Theatre cannot prevail against some moderate opposition. The former is thoroughly exposed but has put up a string of placed efforts in similar company and shapes as though the step up in trip will suit. Theatre has the services of Kieren Fallon but did not impress in attitude when looking rather reluctant in first-time blinkers. Gerard Butler's charge appears to have sound claims at the weights but does not look the most trustworthy.
