If the form of Big Time Dancer's Wetherby debut is taken at face value, then he will be hard to beat. The fact he has been lightly raced since, has moved from Brian Ellison and has been inclined to race too freely makes SAINT CONTEST a more attractive proposition. The five-year-old has joined Keith Dalgleish, having had little luck over fences, but has consistently run to a level good enough over hurdles to win a race of this nature.
