Formscan  - HOPELESS DANCER placed in all three bumper starts and, while he was last of three on his hurdling debut here last month, the four-year-old is clearly the one to beat in a very weak contest. Miracles Do Happen disappointed in a bumper last time but is a player based on her previous efforts. The rest make very little appeal on recent evidence, but Estate Planning completes the shortlist.
