    Verdict

    Magic Dancer is jumping fences late in life but followed up a debut win at Worcester with a second to the smart Minella Drama at Uttoxeter and shouldn’t be far away again. The latter’s stable run ONTHEFRONTFOOT in this, however, and he has also taken well to the larger obstacles. He’s having a first run since August but fitness is unlikely to be an issue. Bathiva has been quite highly tried since completing a double at Worcester in August so can’t be ignored.
