Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Sam Ewing⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 65

Loudest Whisper¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: C D Maxwell| T: E D Delany| OR: 58| CD

10/3

One win from 25 Flat runs. Won 14-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D (soft) 19 days ago, eased down. Hit with a 9 lb rise for that, so she'll need a clear career-best in order to follow up.

40/1

66/1, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Limerick (11.3f, heavy) 10 days ago. Visor back on and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

20/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2018. 24¼ lengths thirteenth of 14 to Vita Veritas in handicap (12/1) at Killarney (11.2f, soft) 62 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive.

12/1

50/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Galway (19.1f, soft) 13 days ago. Visor enlisted back in this sphere and the percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Fujimoto Flyer (5/2), Loudest Whisper (10/3), Custers Mistake (5/1), High Lake (6/1), Fiadhna (7/1), Take A Turn (11/1), Vita Veritas (12/1), Rip Rocks Paddy Ok (12/1), Red Vermillion (12/1), Toughari (14/1), King Christophe (20/1), Faerie Laws (40/1)

FUJIMOTO FLYER wasn't beaten far in a Killarney handicap on her latest start in this sphere last summer, and she is potentially well-treated judged on her subsequent exploits over hurdles. Next on the list is Take A Turn, who will surely be in the thick of things if bouncing back from a somewhat subdued effort at Tipperary. Red Vermillion is also shortlisted.
