Verdict

Fountains Windfall won a bumper here and his two runs against stronger opposition than this over hurdles suggest he'll take the world of beating. Le Capricieux has improved with every run and there was plenty to like about his performance behind Debece at Kempton while Our Three Sons showed his first sign of ability at Plumpton last month where he only faded in the closing stages. Knightly Pleasure won a bumper on heavy ground here and could do with some rain.
