10/1

Landed 22f maiden at Ballinrobe despite pulling hard for much of the way. Has more to offer now going into handicaps and she's well in the mix.

Form: 5031

Loudest Whisper¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Jordan Gainford⁽⁵⁾| T: E D Delany| OR: 105

15/2

Latest win in hurdle at Bellewstown in July. Creditable third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.3f, good, 8/1) 16 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 62P-183

Forecasts

Abbey Magic (11/4), Whatucallher (7/1), Sit Down Lucy (7/1), Loudest Whisper (15/2), Brogine (8/1), Merry Poppins (9/1), Metersandmasks (10/1), Brooks Falls (12/1), Fame And Joy (12/1), Highstreet Roller (14/1), The Caddy Rose (20/1), Lighthouse Rose (28/1)

ABBEY MAGIC looks the way to go here given she's been in excellent form over fences and is weighted to go really well if translating that form back to this sphere now. Handicap-debutantes Fame And Joy and Metersandmasks both arrive on the back of recent wins with more to offer and look the two to give Henry de Bromhead's mare most to do.
