Dancer camp considers options

Prolific French chaser Mid Dancer could still take on the best home-based talent in the Stan James King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day – despite a “technical error” meaning his name does not currently appear among the entries.

The six-year-old has emerged triumphant 18 times to date and has already won three Grade Ones and accrued total prize money of almost £1m (€1.48m).
