Have taken the plunge on Dancing City in the Nathaniel Lacy. His three defeats read as follows:

Beaten 1/2L by useful Three Card Brag (recvd 7lbs) in a 2m bumper on Heavy.
Beaten 6L by classy Ballyburn off levels in a 2m Bumper on G/Y. The third was beaten 7 3/4L and has won both starts since.
Beaten off a break of 205 days in his second-to-last run, in a 2m4f novice hurdle on Heavy.

In his last run, he won going away over 2m4f on S/H at Navan - though the competition was reasonably modest.

Clearly, he will need to improve to get in amongst the finish, but he looks crying out for this step-up to 2m6f, and I can definitely see him out-running his current odds of 16/1......though I wish I'd taken the 20/1 available yesterday.
