Verdict

There were excuses for THE WHIPMASTER's slightly below-par fifth at Sandown last month, the drop back to 7f looking against him and meeting trouble as his stamina began to kick in late. He's taken to get back to winning ways and notch his third victory from his last four starts. Muhalhel could provide the main danger having been denied in the stewards' room at Nottingham recently, ahead of Maxine.
