Verdict
None of these inspire confidence but WHITSTABLE NATIVE gets a tentative vote to land John Best a quick double. His close-up third at Windsor last time is the best piece of recent form on offer and he won't need to improve much to get off the mark in a poor contest. Prophet In A Dream and Novabridge have slipped down the weights and have a chance on that basis, while Mystica finished a bit closer when sixth at Ffos Las recently. It's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder.
