Verdict
Cha Cha Cha Dancer, Snoopy Loopy and Lago are three against the field in this novices hurdle and the vote goes to Cha Cha Dancer. The selection was a fair fifth beaten only seven lengths behind Word Gets Around in a similar race last time and in what looks an easier race and under conditions that suit he is take to score. Snoopy Loopy rates the main danger he won well on his debut in a bumper when defeating Intro The Shadows and if he takes to hurdling he would have definite place claims. Lago is another that could go well he was a fair second behind Touch Closer in a handicap last time and this looks easier so he will not be far away. Of the remainder Huncheon Sis is from a yard in form and is sure to strip fitter here than when pulled up on her first run in two years last time out.Michaels Dream is another with claims but he is very one paced at the end of his races and may do better over an even longer trip so for the winner we return to Cha Cha Cha Dancer.
