WHISPERING WILLOW shaped with encouragement in a couple of starts over fences earlier in the season and, after taking a notable step back in the right direction over hurdles recently, she looks worth siding with in an ordinary maiden chase. Kalsman rarely runs a bad race at this track and rates the main danger after finishing second over fences last time, while Sea of Doubt is another to consider.
