Mr Fox says

Eastern Whisper (SR:97, 2/1) leads the field on ability and carries the strongest market signal by far — a 32% inward move to a joint-shortest price in a race where most runners are drifting badly. Patrick Mullins takes the ride (33% career strike rate from 471 rides), the best jockey booking on the card by a clear margin, which in an amateur mares bumper is a decisive edge. The trainer S G Carey runs at 13% and has a small but competent operation. The complete absence of a form string is common in bumpers and does not diminish the case when the SR leads, the money is arriving, and the best pilot is engaged. Each-way alternative: Shuil Solas. Main danger: Shuil Solas — Shuil Solas (SR:98, 9/4) actually leads the field on raw SR, has recent racecourse experience (Form:592, 18 days ago), Derek O'Connor in the plate at 21% strike rate, and is the market's co-favourite — if Eastern Whisper's support is simply ante-post money that doesn't hold, Shuil Solas's proven bumper form makes it the most likely alternative winner.
