MAGIC DANCER gets a trip over hurdles for the first time which his flat form suggests should be within his range. His form of last season looks ordinary but his latest effort looks a lot better and any improvement for the extra half-mile will make him hard to beat. Starlight Court has a progressive profile and is feared along with Schnabel who could be a different proposition now handicapping.
