Formscan By Mark Nunan - Willie Mullins had this race in mind for GOLD DANCER after he beat stablemate Westport Cove at the Galway festival and the Doctor Dino gelding went on to land another Grade Three at Tipperary last month. The form of those last two victories has been franked and, despite the concern that summer novices can often be found wanting in this race, the six-year-old can extend his winning sequence. Romeo Coolio was turned over at odds-on in last year’s ‘Royal Bond’ but subsequently showed his true colours at Grade One level and he won well on chase debut, albeit in a reduced test of jumping. Ol Man Dingle, unbeaten in two chases, is another worthy of consideration. %0A%0A
A novice steeplechase for four years old and upwards
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 1lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 10lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
