Verdict
Sir Sandrovitch sprouted wings to win at Chester last month but has been beaten three times since and does not look one to relied on. Carlton and Toldya are consistent sprinters who should run well along With Get Stuck In who returned to form at Ayr last time. However Whistler is the one they all have to beat he has twice been beaten by a well handicapped horse at Warwick and in between finished third to Brave Burt at Newmarket. His form looks rock solid and Milton Bradley's gelding will be very hard to beat.
