Feet Of A Dancer shows her rivals a clean pair of heels Feet Of A Dancer made it three wins from six starts, as she readily accounted for 19 rivals in the Redweld Stables Handicap Hurdle. Successful at Wexford in both March and June, the Paul Nolan-trained four-year-old finished down the field after a far from clear passage on her most recent start at Galway. Given a break since that effort, the Authorized bay was sent off an 18/1 chance (touched 28/1) this afternoon and was kept to the outer by Sean O'Keeffe. After racing in mid-division, she took closer order before three out and travelled best on the approach to the next. Pushed to the front before the last, the Philip Byrne-owned victor went clear on the run-in and came home three-and-a-half lengths to the good. Returned a 9/2 chance from 16s early, West Is Awake ran on well to take second under Danny Gilligan for Eddie Cawley, while Nine Graces (17/2) was another two-lengths away in third. Sent off the 5/2 favourite (from 10/3), Read To Return finished fourth under Phillip Enright for Tony Martin. "She got no real run in Galway at all, she was hampered everywhere she went and I said to Sean to give her a bit of light today," Nolan commented. "We'll see how she comes out of this. We might give her time between her races and maybe come back for the mares' handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival. "I liked the way she did that and Sean said she was taking him everywhere, she jumped brilliant and he gave her plenty of light. He said nothing had went as well for him in a handicap before."
