Top weight FANCY A DANCE showed his best form in two point-to-point starts on good ground and following three soft and heavy ground hurdle starts last season he returns to forecast good going for his handicap debut. The selection is likely to appreciate the step up in trip also and he is taken to get the better of his rivals in the second division of the handicap hurdle. No Cruise Yet has run well on both starts this campaign and he can claim second place ahead of the maiden Watching Brief who registered a decent effort when fourth on his latest outing.
