Joe Tizzard: “Theatre Guide is in great form for big race target”

Thelatest insight from the Tizzard stables

We’vehad some nice winners over the last few weekends but it’s a quieter one for usthis weekend.

The constant soft and heavy ground can just take its toll after a while, and so we want to let the ground come right for quite a few horses and ensure we have some ammo for the spring.

Saturday’s runners

14.05 Newbury – Theatre Guide

TheatreGuide has been saved for this race. He ran really well in this race last yearand would have won but for making a mistake at the last. He’s in great form.

Kimrides him every day and she says he’s absolutely bouncing. He doesn’t get anyyounger but that doesn’t seem to stop him putting in big performances. We arelooking forward to running him.

15.50 Newbury – Faustinovick

We arefact-finding with him a little bit. He looked like the winner everywhere atSandown last time but then stopped coming to the last for whatever reason.Nothing has come to light since. At that time a couple of ours weren’t runningthat well, so that might have been it.

Wethink he’s well handicapped, and we are going back to Newbury where he has runwell before.

So weare just looking for a better run, as he hasn’t been finishing his racesrecently.
