Today's Tips: Buck Dancing can get punters off to perfect start at Thurles

Six chases make up this afternoon’s card at Thurles, where Buck Dancing can get punters off to the perfect start by taking the two-mile novice chase for the in-form stable of Eddie Harty.

Quite lightly raced and still a maiden on the track, he won his sole outing in a point to point, and gave enough encouragement on his recent chasing debut to suggest he wouldn’t have to wait long to get off the mark over fences.

In finishing fourth behind Net D’Ecosse, he jumped well, in the main, and didn’t have a very hard race when it was obvious his chance was gone. With improvement almost certain to be forthcoming, he should be ready to make a deeper impact, and this looks a much easier assignment. He is taken to score at the expense of Marvellous Moment, who has plenty of experience over fences, and should reach the frame.
