Not a strong contest in which HOPELESS DANCER is fancied to come out on top despite the step back in trip. The Twiston-Davies trained gelding was placed all 3 starts in bumpers and proved he had a future in this sphere when not disgraced in a 3-runner race here on hurdles bow. Hurdles newcomer Miracles Do Happen is next best, whilst Estate Planning would also merit consideration if able to get back to the pick of last year's form.
