Almost landed the win - just got run out of it in the dying strides - but still collected the e/w return. Original quote: "Monbeg Theatre - Was a very progressive novice hurdler. He had a few injuries and didn't take to chasing but ran well to be a good second off this mark before Christmas. He choked the last day and has had his wind tinkered with since. This looks an open race but he's in great form and I expect a decent run from him today.
