Verdict
Very little to go on here but perhaps LOUDEST WHISPER can finally make herself heard. Still a maiden after 26 career starts, she's been running well on the Flat with last week's close third on this track a fine effort and she's only had three runs over timber. Clody Valley improved with each of his four runs over timber and wouldn't need much more while Upgraded won a handicap on the level at last year's Galway Festival so is one to keep an eye on. Xinbama has won nine times on the Flat and has run well enough in all four starts over hurdles to get competitive from this mark.
