Shared Account, Pro Dancer and High Hope are the three to look at in this decent claimer, and the twelve year old Shared Account can continue the winning form of the stable. Pro Dancer won in Ireland two years ago but hasnt won since and although he ran well to be second last time at Market Rasen, the winner let the form down next time. He is attractively weighted here and can go close but is passed over. After taking a Fontwell novice hurdle last time, High Hope has not been seen over hurdles since but has been kept busy on the Flat, running respectably in defeat. His yard is also in form and he can go well. Shared Account has two wins to his credit this season and although well beaten in a handicap hurdle last time, he has been allotted a good weight here, receiving weight all round. Shared Account can take full advantage.
