WAR WHISPER won at Goodwood last year and made a very encouraging reappearance off this mark at Ascot. Hollie Doyle again takes off 3lb and Richard Hannon’s colt is worth another try over this extra furlong. Honiara seems to be an all-weather specialist and is 0-8 on Turf but December’s Wolverhampton winner Song Of Shadows still has plenty of scope and should be even better now upped in trip. Another Boy and the race-fit Art Echo are others to consider but Lexington Times has a poor strike-rate considering he once won a Listed race on Polytrack.
