Verdict
Fountains Chief won his first three starts over hurdles but has struggled in handicaps so far and a chance is taken on PEACE OF ROME. The latter makes his handicap debut fitted with a tongue-tie and improvement is expected. Heaven Smart finished last of six at Sandown handicapping for the first time though is still preferred to stablemate Invincible Nao while Wavering Down finished well ahead of Watergrange Jack when successful on good ground back in October.
