    Verdict

    FOUNTAINS MARY returned to action with a good effort at Plumpton. She finished a street clear of the third when beaten less than a length and can go one better in this. Vinnieslittle Lamb looks next best on her recent placed efforts though Rising Teal finished closer at this track on her return from a lay-off and may also figure. Always Smiling is a point-to-point winner but never figured on her hurdling bow and bumper winner Dardanella has yet to figure over timber.
