Formscan By Tom Weekes - URGENT WHISPER has ordinary Flat form but showed promise on her hurdles debut, which tips the scales in her favour. The form of that July course third-placing is nothing special but the selection met significant trouble in-running from the second-last and was an unlucky loser on the day. She should progress and seems to stay quite well. Cumberland River was well held in a useful Curragh maiden last October and while he lacks a recent run, is likely to have been kept for hurdling and will be well schooled. George Zhukov was well held on his hurdles debut while Flat maidens Whats New and Wonderfulwonderful have reasonable form but debut over jumps.
