Formscan  - SPIRIT DANCER was far from disgraced when finishing eighth from a wide draw in the John Smith's Cup over C&D recently and this appears a suitable opportunity for the Richard Fahey-trained gelding to notch a first success of the season. Box To Box arrives in good heart and appears the main threat despite the rise in class, while Brunch is dangerous to discount and can go well if seeing out this stiffer test.
