In depth
Verdict
Barrowmount has shown ability in three Fontwell bumpers so far and arguably delivered his best effort when a three-length second to Independence last month. Here Hare Here made a pleasing enough start when only beaten a length-and-a-half on debut at Taunton and his yard has a good record in bumpers. But the choice is FIRST ANGEL, who made a very pleasing debut for Laura Morgan at Kelso when only weakening in the closing stages of a better race.
