Winner of two races from 56 starts and has gone 27 races since last win. Off the track since Christmas and trip looks on the sharp side.
Sole success came in a 1m4f seller at Southwell and has struggled from higher mark since. Has plenty to prove over this trip but blinkers are back on.
Took advantage of a workable mark to score last time and runner-up has scored since. Looks the type who can improve further and this will take little winning.
Still a maiden after 22 races. Beginning to look inconsistent and if on one of her infrequent positive days she could land a race as poor as this.
Remains a maiden after 13 races but signs were beginning to look positive after latest start. Stable's horses are beginning to show signs of returning to form. Races off a career low mark and will get few easier opportunities to break his duck.
Strung a couple of good performances together last summer but has been in dismal form since. Recent signs are not promising but he is on his favoured surface and appears better suited to shorter trips nowadays. Remains hard to fancy.
Has a career record of 1-28. Tends to give himself plenty to do and needs the race to develop to suit his needs. History shows this to be an infrequent occurrence.
Won this a year ago off 1lb higher and has now dropped to a mark 6lb below than his latest success. Tends to miss the break and best achievements have come in strongly run races or over further. Stable have been going well and much sought after apprentice has been booked.
Has one win and two seconds from 11 starts. Best form has come at Southwell and recent efforts suggest he is no longer the force he was.
Struggled over further last season and worth a try at this trip in this lowly grade. Visor replaces blinkers but has an eight month absence to overcome.
Has shown nothing in seven starts at lengthy odds. Hard to recommend for a yard without a winner since August.
Forecasts
Whispered Kiss (2/1), Mount Cheiron (6/1), Caribbean Spring (8/1), Dukes Meadow (8/1), Sakhalin Star (8/1), Quadriga (8/1), Arcanista (11/1), Thou Swell (16/1), City Of Angkor Wat (16/1), Jon H The Lawman (100/1), Trulove (150/1)
Most of these are exposed as moderate so it comes as a relief to find that WHISPERED KISS is open to improvement and beat a subsequent winner last time. She has most to fear from Mount Cheiron who is dropping down the weights and has a much sought after rider on board. The stable have had some success recently and it would be little surprise if this strong finisher got it right this time. Caribbean Spring is interesting as he drops down the weights with horses from the yard beginning to show some form.
