Slick Exotic Dancer back in the groove

EXOTIC Dancer is primed for his latest clash with Kauto Star in Saturday’s Betfair Chase at Haydock.

The eight-year-old is an old adversary of the 2007 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, having finished behind him on no less than seven occasions over the last two seasons.

Exotic Dancer will be facing off with Kauto Star for the second successive year in the race after pushing him all the way in 2007, eventually going down by just half a length.
