Chance To Dance defies top weight for fourth victory

Chance To Dance is thriving on his racing and he won his fourth race of the campaign, when he defied top weight to win The Nasrullah Handicap at Leopardstown last evening.

Partnered by Kevin Manning, the winner went on a furlong from home and was always holding the effort of the favourite Magnolia Beach.

“He’ll go to Naas next Wednesday for a conditions race and I think he’ll make into a top-class hurdler for somebody,” said trainer Jim Bolger. “All of mine jump and anywhere from six furlongs to a mile and a half is all the same to him.”
