Dancer delivers in Lexus

A switch away from Kempton on St Stephen's Day provided Exotic Dancer with the chance to break through at the top level as Jonjo O’Neill’s stable star struck in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown.

Tony McCoy’s mount was going ominously well down the far side of the track and slowly worked into contention before being left in a clear lead as 5-4 favourite Neptune Collonges crashed out at the second last.
