Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A Watson| OR: 65| D

80/1

Form: 250988

Forecasts

Kim Wexler (7/2), Harb (9/2), Dream By Day (5/1), Bang On The Bell (13/2), Alcazan (15/2), The Defiant (8/1), Pop Dancer (17/2), Thegreatestshowman (10/1), La Roca Del Fuego (22/1), Amor De Mi Vida (80/1)

POP DANCER arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to bag a quick hat-trick at the chief expense of Bang On The Bell, who was just edged out at Wolverhampton last time. The Defiant wasn't seen to best effect at Chelmsford last time out and is another who needs factoring in.
