Kings River has claims on his second at Uttoxeter last month but DANCEINTOTHELIGHT looks to have the stronger form. He was third to the progressive Amuse Me at Sedgefield a fortnight ago with a subsequent winner further back and Donald McCain s charge gets the nod to come out best. Samtheman ran well over fences here in between a couple of failed attempts to complete while Colley Row has been tailed off either side of winning a selling hurdle at Worcester.
