FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WARDENS WHISPER showed much improved form on his second handicap start last month and can progress further. His initial form was poor but having made much of the running at Tipperary recently, finished his race quite well while the race has been boosted by his stablemate runner-up scoring next time. Expelliarmus returned from 405 days off when running well on the all-weather last week and had shown promise in juvenile hurdles in 2023. She might ideally prefer a sound surface but has a favourable rating. Eve’s Hope defeated a proven 104-rated runner-up to score at Clonmel 10 days ago and should compete on handicap debut while useful Flat performer Robbies Rock debuts in a handicap hurdle but is just a three-year-old.
