Formscan - Useful dual purpose performer WHIMSY has flashes of smart form over hurdles and she returned to hurdling with an admirable second over 2m at Galway last month. That effort should have teed her up perfectly for a tilt at this, and she looks the one to side with. The unexposed Ace Of Spades just failed to get up when finishing runner-up over an extended 2m2f at Exeter last time and another prominent showing is forecast. Country Park completes the shortlist.
