Verdict
Tony McCoy is an eye-catching jockey booking on-board BOOGIE DANCER, who under just 2lb extra than when running a good race in defeat at Cartmel, will be hard to beat. Herschel has done little wrong in three starts in this sphere and although his latest win came in selling company he should have more to offer and can play his part. Dream Catcher is running well but has form to overturn on the selection while Tignello is unexposed under National Hunt rules and followed up an emphatic success with a narrow defeat last time so has to be given respect. A tight race but the booking of the champ looks significant for Boogie Dancer.
