Racing Post verdict
Third-partyWoodhay Whisper is our selection at Catterick, preferred to the top-rated Highfield Sunshine on a more progressive profile and a fitness edge into this race. She sits only narrowly behind on our figures, a gap her recent trend argues she can bridge. Highfield Sunshine, Miss Rainbow and Mister Sky Blue stand out as the chief dangers in a tightly bunched field. Confidence in the pick is low, but Woodhay Whisper remains our selection on profile.
