In depth

Verdict

Burmese Whisper and PHANTOM FLIPPER are closely matched at the weights but the latter has been competing in tougher races. Richard Hannon's colt may just edge this and also has the beating of Music Major on latest running at Lingfield. Santiburi Spring wasn’t beaten that far when only seventh here last time and is preferred to Princess Cookie while the speedily-bred Summer Music is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.
