Dancer on track for Roan bid

Exotic Dancer is on course to take on his old adversary Kauto Star in the bonusprint.com Old Roan Chase at Aintree on Sunday.

As long as the ground is suitable, Jonjo O’Neill’s tough chaser, who finished runner-up to Paul Nicholls’ ace in the King George VI Chase and Cheltenham Gold Cup, will make his seasonal debut.
