Verdict
Fountain Hill stands out by virtue of his debut Newton Abbot win and can follow up under a penalty. He proved that day he could act on the likely good to firm going and his rider takes off a useful five pounds so it all points to another win for Paul Nicholls. Of the others, Gregory Peckory is entitled to consideration following his Worcester second on his debut, and What A Monday, a Huntingdon winner, certainly has form enough to go well and will not lack for experience. Of the others, the Seamus Mullins-trained Ansan filly, Cansalrun, might be worth a look at in the market, and the form of Miss Mailmit's Warwick run has worked out quite well.
