FormscanBy Gary Carson - WHISPERING WATERS did well to win over the minimum trip here last month and connections step right up to three miles now for her handicap debut over fences. The Mahler mare was maybe a touch fortunate then with the smooth travelling Duchess Ravenwaves falling at the last but it was still a good effort and she doesn't look harshly treated at all now off a mark of 92. Turndownthevolume was a close enough third in that beginners chase and looks the obvious danger as she is better off now on handicap terms. Ask And Answer was well beaten over hurdles last time but back over the larger obstacles he wouldn't be without a chance in this grade.
