DANCING HARRY is rated 84 on the Flat and won over 1m6f at Salisbury in July. If he transfers that ability to hurdling, Roger Teal’s newcomer should take all the beating in a race like this. Parramount won a bumper here last year and Donaire did likewise at Hereford last season. Both would have a chance if fully wound-up and are probably more interesting than French imports It's A Good Name and Master Dancer. Gone In Sixty may be the pick of the remainder.
