URGENT WHISPER was unlucky not to make a winning start over hurdles over C&D last month and she can gain compensation here. Georg Zhukov clearly needed the experience on his hurdles bow and could well improve, as could Sopelana who offered something to work with on debut for new connections. Wonderfulwonderful and Cumberland River may prove most interesting of the hurdling newcomers.
