Verdict
FOUNTAINS BLOSSOM skated up when allowed to set her own pace over a shorter trip here last month and is taken to show she stays this far by beating Father Edward, who found a penalty too much to handle at Huntingdon last November having won here on his debut six months earlier. Worcester runner-up Madam Be needs more while the newcomers will probably be better for a run - Lady A may be the best of them.
