1pt win Dancing City @3/1, 13:45 Aintree, Friday

3m1f (3m210y) (Mildmay) Huyton Asphalt Franny Blennerhassett Memorial Mildmay Novices’ Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+)

I don’t think DANCING CITY likes Cheltenham. Twice he’s disappointed at the track and maybe he shouldn’t be judged on his efforts there. He won three Grade 1s over hurdles including one at this meeting last year, so we know he likes this time of year, the track and a busy schedule suits. Willie Mullins is on fire and I can’t pass his first string up at 3/1 in not the deepest Grade 1.
