Formscan  - AH WHISHT was just denied at Plumpton in March when attempting to follow up her hurdling debut success at Ffos Las. Related to some useful performers, an opening mark of 117 may underestimate her true ability and the six-year-old gets the vote in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Cherie D'am enters calculations based on what she has achieved over hurdles to date, while a wind operation could aid the cause of Royale Dance.
