By Kingman, WHISPERING ROMANCE cost an eye-watering 1.45million gns as a yearling but has obviously been slow to come to hand. She could yet make up into a smart filly, however, and could make Newmarket third Lady Loulou work hard for victory on her first run since July. Adela Of Champagne has been absent since well beaten at Yarmouth in June and none of the others make much appeal, though Mayfair Gold is probably open to improvement.
