Verdict
All The Glory was only beaten a neck last time at Chepstow but that was over an extra half-mile. Placed twice on the Flat, Titanium Moon is an interesting recruit for Donald McCain while Cnoc Na Si placed twice in bumpers when trained by Willie Mullins. Noble Affair won a handicap here last month but will be having her 10th run over hurdles. PURE THEATRE landed the odds at Exeter with the minimum of fuss following a promising second at Chepstow and can complete a double as Phone Home may need more time.
