Verdict
NAMIB DANCER finished second here and at Kempton around this time last year and was later sixth in a competitive event at Newbury. He is clearly the form pick among those with hurdling experience but Secret Potion was quite highly tried on the Flat in Germany after winning a minor contest in June of last year. He will have had plenty of schooling and could be useful if taking to jumping. Getabuck has hinted at ability but needs more.
