The level DANCING HARRY has reached on the Flat suggests that an opening handicap hurdle mark in the 90s shouldn't be beyond him, particularly as he showed an aptitude for jumping when placed twice in maidens in the autumn. Sister Saint has yet to show much but it's rare for the Paul Nicholls stable to have one starting out from such a low mark and a market move for her would be very interesting.
