Voice Of Hope won at Kilbeggan in July but she is having a first run for a new yard and looks to have plenty to find on the form book. MR CAPLAN (NAP) couldn’t confirm Wexford running with Quirt Evans at Tramore last month but the winner is proving to be a useful novice and Gordon Elliott’s charge was far from disgraced. This looks a far more straightforward assignment and the six-year-old is preferred to Rattle Owl, who might just need the run, and Gordon's Jet, who didn’t handle soft going at Perth in July and has had wind surgery since.
