Verdict

Reg Hollinshead's Bahamian Kid should appreciate the return to six furlongs and has every chance on the pick of his form but has been done few favours with a draw in stall 11 of the 13 runners, while the much better berthed Music Maestro remains a maiden after nine starts. Paul Green has his string in good heart so Feeling Harsh has to be respected but he seems a shade high in the weights and looks best left out of calculations. Ride A White Swan is capable but is probably better over six furlongs than the trip today. The vote then goes the way of Ann Duffield's WHISPERING SPIRIT, who was good value for his win here last month and he can defy the 5lb rise for that success.
