Pogo I Am came good in pleasing fashion at Stratford and should again beat third Say Nothing but the runner-up has let the form down since and Harry Fry’s mare has a penalty to carry. Stamina Chope found only one too good on UK debut at Stratford having placed twice in France last year but we’ll take a chance on the stamina of hurdling newcomer ANGEL’S WHISPER. A progressive miler on the Flat this year, she did finish second over 1m2f at Sandown last season and her yard is in cracking form. A useful bumper, Mrs Hyde has switched stables but should make a hurdler.
