BANNOW BLAZE showed improved form when winning a 14-runner handicap at Wexford 27 days ago and can follow up. Wardens Whisper is a course winner who has had jumping troubles recently but stuck to his task when third at Galway, so is feared most if keeping the mistakes down. Sarandon could be interesting on her handicap debut.
