Formscan By Gary Carson - WHIMSY can gain an overdue win over jumps here. The mare has been placed eight times over timber, most recently when third in a decent rated novice event at Fairyhouse 16 days ago. She has got her head in front three times on the Flat so she knows how to win and this looks like a nice opportunity for her now over hurdles. The Gordon Elliott-trained Paul Collins was well beaten when sixth here last month but this looks like an easier task now and he’s a contender on previous form. Come On The Lads was a moderate enough fourth here last time but may get closer in this company.
