FormscanBy Gary Carson - FINE THEATRE was a course and distance winner here back in March, when landing a significant gamble, and may be able to strike again on his return to action. He seems to like it around here having also won over hurdles at the track the previous year. A 5lb higher mark now looks manageable if he turns up fit and ready. Plenty of these are returning from absences and Fairly Legal hasn't been seen since winning easily at Navan last December. He's gone up 12lb since that and the market may prove the best guide to his chances on his comeback. Owner JP McManus has three in this and Scoir Mear has race fitness on his side. He could run well in first time cheekpieces.%0A
