Veteran chaser Theatrical Star expected to run well off a winnable mark

Lambourn: James Burn

Royal Ruby (3.35 Huntingdon, nap)

Shown promise in three starts over hurdles and looks on a competitive mark, while trainer Nicky Henderson remains among the winners and has a good strike-rate at this track.

Others to follow
Huntingdon: 1.30 Presenting Pearl, 2.00 Passing Call, 3.05 Road To Rome, 5.10 Mill Green.
Market Rasen: 2.40 Tangoed.
Taunton: 2.50 Bridge of Cally, 3.55 The Missus.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Theatrical Star (4.30 Taunton, nap)

His second here behind Regal Flow now reads particularly well so a big run can be expected from Colin Tizzard’s veteran now racing off a winnable mark with Richard Johnson in the saddle.

Huntingdon: 3.05 Leglock Luke, 3.35 Master Work.
Market Rasen: 5.20 Definatelyanoscar.
Taunton: 2.20 Mount Rushmoore, 2.50 Smart Boy, 3.25 Tikkinthebox, 3.55 Tobacco Road, 5.00 Prince Mahler.

North: Colin Russell

Mahlerdramatic (4.20 Market Rasen, nap)

Dual bumper and hurdle winner who has yet to win over fences. On a really good mark now and with the drying ground in his favour is fancied to break his duck as a chaser.

Market Rasen: 2.40 Rock N'Stones, 3.15 Red Ochre, 3.45 On A Promise, 4.50 Knocknamona, 5.20 Sweet Vinetta.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Itsnonofurbusiness (3.45 Market Rasen, nap)

Has twice run well in defeat since winning over course and distance In January and still open to improvement off what looks a fair mark.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Passing Call (2.00 Huntingdon)

Has found one too good in all three starts over hurdles and this luckless mare is due a change of luck.

Longshot: David Revers

Bad Boy Du Pouldu (3.05 Huntingdon)

The Gary Moore-trained seven-year-old hasn't fired in his last two starts but is slipping down the weights, and the return to a sounder surface should help this time around.
