Al Dancer spot-on for Supreme showdown and ground is not a concern

It looks as if the ground is going to be soft at Cheltenham. That won’t bother Al Dancer or hinder too many of my likely other mounts.

I’ll be penning a Racing Post column on each of the four days of the festival, so more on my rides then.

I can confirm, though, that Al Dancer is in tremendous shape. He did his last piece of work on Tuesday morning, and we’re thrilled with him. He’s a warm favourite for the Supreme Novices' and my best chance of a festival winner this year.
