Verdict
MIRRIE DANCERS only missed out by a neck at Wolverhampton when bidding for a hat-trick. He had the Victoriano back in fifth on that occasion and beat both Norman Kindu and Tiger Spirit when winning at Redcar earlier. Steel Helmet has been in winning form over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and is preferred to the likes of Toutatis and Buford.
