Formscan By Tom Weekes - DANCING CITY is suited by race conditions and is a high-class performer. Defeat in Cheltenham’s Albert Bartlett Hurdle interrupted an otherwise perfect 2024, and while he idled on recent chase debut, it was nonetheless a good beginning and he should progress. Bioluminescence also stays well and while the mare isn’t helped by conceding 1lb to the selection, won a Grade 2 nicely at Limerick over Christmas and should get involved. Good Land, a former Grade 1 winner, also stays well but raced over middle-distances on his previous runs. He should improve at this distance but possibly needs to improve to win. Dee Capo won a useful recent beginners chase but has yet to win at Graded level.
