Options open for Dancing Bay

Dancing Bay is likely to bypass Ascot on Saturday in favour of a trip to either Uttoxeter or Ireland.

The seven-year-old holds an entry in the victorchandler.co.uk Handicap Hurdle at the Berkshire track but the Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle at Uttoxeter on the same day or the Pierse Hurdle a day later at Leopardstown are the more likely options.
