WARDENS WHISPER finished a place behind Liberated Light when the pair met at Limerick 21 days ago, yet the latter doesn't boast consistency as his strong suit (also makes mistakes) so it could be worth chancing the former to reverse those placings here. Crescent Moon appeals as a likely improver now handicapping and could also feature.
