The handicapper appears to have caught up with Viserion, while Mukhayyam is taking a drop in class here but is on a long losing run and the consistent Tamayuz Magic doesn’t appear particularly well-treated at the moment. Pointillism is of obvious interest if handling the step up in trip, but in a modest-looking handicap, preference is for MIDNIGHT WHISTLER. He has a six month absence to overcome but there was plenty to like about his maiden victory at Lingfield and he can prevail on his step up to handicaps.
