Brother to winners Fountains Windfall (smart bumper and 2m1f-3m hurdle/chase), Fountains Blossom (bumper/2m4f hurdle) and Fountainspinklady (bumper); shaped with some promise when fourth in a point bumper (2m, good) in December and he should know more on this switch to rules; in the mix for new yard.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Anthony Honeyball

Proving a solid novice hurdler; scored in October/January and ran well under big penalty the last twice, beaten only a neck at Kempton (2m5f, good) latest occasion; bred to be as effective back up in trip; looks worth his mark and has clear possibilities on handicap debut.

Pulled up in his first Irish point but he went close in the second one (3m, yielding) in October; half-brother to two jumps winners at around 2m and he's an interesting contender for JP McManus in this ordinary bumper on rules debut.

Low-mileage maiden whose form (point/bumper/hurdles) stacks up well; debut in this sphere was behind a horse who has since run well in the Turners; open to progress now handicapping over a new trip with tongue-tie fitted; interesting contender who could be on a very workable opening mark.
