Going - Heavy. Raining
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Gary Carson - WHISPERINTHEBREEZE looks on a nice mark for his handicap debut and there looks plenty of scope for further improvement from the Jessica Harrington-trained gelding. He stepped forward from his hurdling debut when scoring at Naas in February and that form looks strong with the third and fifth placed horses going on to win since. Tony Martin has won this a couple of times in recent years and Corri Lindo looks an interesting contender for him. He ran really well on his return to action at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day when chasing home Luckyinmilan and that rival has been in good form since, winning twice over fences recently. Icario gained an overdue win at Down Royal last time and with that confidence boosting win under his belt he could also go well under top weight.
