In depth

Verdict

Breccia has won over 2m on Tapeta and was third at Bath last month but FOUNTAINSPINKLADY may have been undone by a lack of experience when favourite at Worcester in August and Anthony Honeyball’s bumper winner warrants another chance. Vivid Pink, Theweddingcanwait and Newmill Getaway have also shown ability in bumpers and have more scope than Nathan Walker and Miss Marette.
