Velvet Whisper
VELVET WHISPER progressed again making her first start at this distance when scoring here in November and she can pick up where she left off to land the hat-trick. She gets the vote ahead of Ludo's Landing, who isn't handicapped out of things following his success at Newcastle last time, with Say What You See also in the mix.

Form took off last summer and first past the post at Doncaster's St Leger meeting to end the campaign, though later disqualified. Good effort upped in grade when third back at Doncaster on return 2 weeks ago.

Back in headgear for first time since 2023, resumed winning ways in decisive fashion at Newcastle last month.

Useful handicapper at his best for Sir Michael Stoute. Without a win when trained by Kevin Ryan last year, running below-par at Kempton on final outing in October, but he lurks on a dangerous mark as he makes seasonal/stable debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat6/9Pontefract1m 2f 5yGood to SoftFlat5/9Doncaster1m 3f 197yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat14/14Ripon1m 4f 10ySoftFlat3/5Ayr1m 5f 26yGoodFlat6/8- 14(3)Fast FredJ: Rowan ScottT: Phillip Makin36d66-2Age 616/116/118/1
