Verdict
SHADOW DANCER is taken to get the better of Kilcrea Asia and Kingsben in a good quality opener. Kingsben is a modest performer but showed improved form to score last time. He was given a break over the summer and may well have strengthened up. Kilcrea Asia is returning after a lay off and may just need the run. He is a decent performer over fences, but is yet to score over the smaller obstacles. He may lack a little speed and is taken on. Shadow Dancer was an impressive winner on his hurdling bow and he should come on for that Uttoxeter success. He recieves weight from his principal rivals here and Shadow Dancer can take this, perhaps en route to better things for JP McManus.
