She Whispers looks capable of following up her recent course and distance win here, with Diktalex, Figaro Flyer and Phinerine others to consider. The selection meets Phinerine on the same terms as when beating him in a seller here, but on this occasion has the advantage of a better draw. Getting too carried away with selling form can be one of the quickest ways to the poor house, but the race looked solid enough for its type and we'll take her to score again. Diktalex has been running well enough on Southwell's fibresand of late, but one previous start here was disappointing and so he has a bit to prove still, while Figaro Flyer would see these off for ability alone normally and is dropped in class, so looks very interesting at the weights. But She Whispers stuck on well last time and with confidence under he belt she can repeat the dose.
