In depth
Verdict
FABRIKA has a national hunt pedigree and, though beaten at odds-on on her racecourse debut in a bumper here in May, you'd expect her to be fully wound-up for this. She can open her account at the chief expense of Mount Hope, successful in a Sedgefield bumper in May but a faller in a point-to-point at Dromahane a month earlier. Alan King's stable is already going well and Hollow Penny, second in bumpers at Towcester and Plumpton in the spring, warrants respect while No Duffer and Ubique should improve as they gain experience.
