Comment: Beaten a nose here over 6½f (maiden claimer) in front of Best In Class in October; others more appealing as not in the habit of winning recently.

Verdict: CLASSY WHISPER can prove superior to his rivals. He is a reliable type and put in an eyecatching run last time out. Wilberforce and Kiddie Holiday are among the dangers.

Comment: Has an impressive C&D record (three wins from nine runs); scored by a slim margin in an optional claimer in October; his best looks to be behind him and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.
