Whisper Cool hasn't had much experience on the level but has shown enough ability in two runs this term to suggest he can do well over timber. In receipt of 7lbs from WIJIKURA he looks a threat though the greater experience of the easy Roscommon winner may see him home this time. Todd's Force was well behind Wijikura at Roscommon but made great strides on his second start when only a length behind Knockcroghery at Tramore and is likely to progress again. Silas Mariner started favourite in that Roscommon event but couldn't make any impression and will need to have made major improvement to turn the tables.
