Verdict
Kim Wexler beat Bang On The Bell a neck when scoring at Wolverhampton earlier and finished ahead of previous winner Dream By Day when runner-up at the same track last week. Harb disappointed last time having won over 6f at Chelmsford before that so it could pay to stick with POP DANCER. The latter has improved since refitted with cheekpieces and bids for a hat-trick having defied a penalty at Brighton last month.
