Going in on Theatre Guide Saturday for the BetBright Chase. 8/1 currently, his prep towards this race has pretty much been identical, all bar the Welsh National run, to last year before going on to win it.
Some of the races he has done better than last year, others not so well. I feel they ran him in the Welsh National purely for staying and fitness purposes as he has a much bigger weight than last year to take on board this time around, I think 1st & 5lbs more.
As I also said in the Gold Cup thread, I believe it to be common knowledge that he works at home alongside Cue Card, and that horse was very well last weekend, so I suspect Theatre Guide is in good heart or he wouldn't have held his entry in this race.
His general form has been pretty good this year, he won a competitive race at Cheltenham 2 runs back, which was sandwiched in between 2 efforts that were won by none other than stablemate and Gold Cup favourite Native River. I'm always a little sceptical about horses running against stablemates, they know how good each horse is, and they knew full well that NR was the one to beat, of which no other horse could, so for that reason Theatre Guide's entries in them races were purely for fitness purposes and to get a run into him.
So, that's my case for my main weekend bet.
