Verdict

A competitive sprint but WHAILEYY has the best piece of recent form. He bounced back with a win in this grade at Kempton in November and makes more appeal than disappointing stablemate Mezzotint. Swiss Cross finished third to the selection at Kempton before winning but, along with Sulis Minerva, couldn't live with a back to his best Piscean at Wolverhampton last week. The latter is sure to go close and the progressive Irish raider Farmleigh House is another to consider after landing a recent double at Dundalk.
