Gordon Elliott's WHISPERING HOPES holds much the best form on show and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to finally get off the mark. Gavin Cromwell's newcomer Wings Of Eve could emerge as the main danger, especially if the market vibes are positive, ahead of Hillhead Runner and Lily Milan.
