Dan's the man to storm to Wincanton success this time.

DAN Tucker has obviously found his feet over obstacles now and can complete a swift double in the Bathwick Tyres Midsomer Norton Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle at Wincanton.

Snapped up by the wily Jim Best after finishing second in a Flat claimer at Catterick in October last year, the son of Dansili has taken a short while to warm to the jumping game.

His first three starts in this sphere were on rain-softened ground over the winter, however, and his form on the level strongly suggested he'd come good when the ground dried up.

Early mistakes meant he could finish only in midfield on his return from a break at Huntingdon in March, but a subsequent spin on the all-weather to sharpen him up proved a smart move.

The manner in which he coasted to victory in a classified hurdle at Plumpton last left the impression the has well and truly plenty appeal in this event, despite the burden of a 7lb penalty.
