LYRICAL THEATRE will be all the rage on her debut over timber after her very impressive victory in a Listed bumper at Navan. She may turn out to be very useful though taking short odds about a hurdling newcomer on heavy ground isn't always the best advice. Aiyan is also having her first start over timber but did well for Hughie Morrison on the Flat and Charles Byrnes will have her fit and ready to go. Sixteen Again ran a bit better here last month and Annagh Haven could go well if brushing up her jumping but the more experienced Dantes Firth could be the one to take advantage if the selection doesn't come up to scratch as he's been placed in decent company and has his ideal conditions.
