Verdict

DANCE TEMPO has gone well following a break in the past and his defeat of Weekend Millionair over hurdles at Huntingdon in October turned out to be decent form. He should take all the beating if taking to the larger obstacles. Captain Brown is another returning from a lay-off but he also has plenty of scope while French import Le Bacardy has settled in quickly to his new surroundings and won over timber at Newbury in March. King Spirit, Ubaltique and Wheres The Hare are others who catch the eye in an interesting contest and Harry Hunt has already had a couple of runs over fences and can't be ignored.
