Milton Bradley's Whistler has been in the form of his life of late and is taken to win again at the main expense of his stablemate High Ridge and Dancing Mystery. The last mentioned is an evergreen 10-year-old who recorded the 18th win of his career when produced late to land a Salisbury handicap last time. A 3lb rise for that seems fair and he rates a bigger threat than High Ridge. The last mentioned is probably better over six furlongs and even this extended five furlongs may be on the sharp side for the five-year-old. Dizzy In The Head has been in good form of late and, along with all-weather winner Cape St Vincent, has to be respected. Whistler has been much improved of late though and recorded another smooth success at Salisbury on Thursday. A 3lb penalty may not be enough to stop the seven-year-old from following up.
