DANCER TO WALTZ IT Val Dancer (right) should earn top marks in Newcastle's Elder Chase stamina test
GIVE ‘em Val for the Virgin Bet Eider Chase.
This famous Newcastle marathon handicap always provides a huge test of stamina and that should be ideal for VAL DANCER (2.43).
His finest hour came last season when landing the Welsh Grand National, having been up with the pace throughout.
His form this term hasn't been at all bad. After needing the run on his return to action, he ran really well when third in the Becher Chase over Aintree’s Grand National fences.
He was just behind today’s top weight Mr Vango, with the 3m2f distance just too short for him.
