Whimsy silk
Whimsy
Selected at: 11/8

Whimsy has made the frame in eight of her nine starts over hurdles and this looks like a good opportunity to finally get off the mark. She wasn’t beaten far when third in a Cheltenham maiden hurdle on her penultimate start and a similar effort should be enough in this company.
