Paul Nolan confirmed this morning that talented mare Feet Of A Dancer will take her chance in the Yorkshire Mares’ Hurdle this Saturday in Doncaster.

The seven-year-old, who was last seen finishing second behind Wodhooh at Leopardstown over Christmas, has been a model of consistency for connections and looks to add another win to her season following a 9-length victory at Punchestown in November.

"She had a lovely weight in the Galmoy, but three miles in Gowran on that ground, you would probably leave your season there," said Nolan.

“She ran a cracker the last day. It’s a devil to run so well and still be second. We’re hoping that she is better over three miles.

"She showed that in the Pertemps last year when she was unlucky. It’s due to rain in Doncaster, so it’ll probably be on the soft side, and I’m hoping that she will run a cracker. The plan is to go over there with her this weekend.”
