Aged nine, MAGIC DANCER is going chasing late in life but is potentially well handicapped on the pick of his hurdles form and represents shrewd connections. Another chasing debutant, Across The Line, should make his presence felt and When You're Ready could also do well in this sphere but Demopolis didn’t look the heartiest of battlers when beaten at Fontwell in March and has been raised 5lb. Doukarov remains unexposed but Irish import Not Available is having a first run for new connections and conceding weight all round.
