Verdict

None of these can be safely discounted but CHARMING WHISPER is nevertheless a standout contender on the back of an eye-catching effort in a pretty valuable Class 2 handicap at Newmarket's July meeting. This 3-y-o is clearly on the up (winner at Newbury and Yarmouth in June) and he may well have more to offer. Optiva Star isn't the most solid of these by any means but he has to be of interest given his stellar course record, while Blenheim Star and Drink Dry also merit serious respect.
