Verdict

FOUNTAINS WINDFALL will not have used up much energy in winning on the bridle at Wincanton 12 days ago. Anthony Honeyball has a useful novice on his hands and the seven-year-old should get the better of Solighoster. The latter is unbeaten over timber so is respected but is rated 2lb lower than the selection by the official handicapper. Linda Jewell trains the other pair but neither appear to have much chance against the principals, despite receiving lumps of weight.
