Verdict

Dingo Dancer has been running well of late over fences, albeit at a lower level, while Bit O Magic won a handicap off 87 at Huntingdon. While that was a solid enough effort, he will struggle to give the weight to Hallyards Gael. Unexposed over fences, he handles this faster ground and is taken to win his first chase.
