      Verdict

      Fountains Chief made no mistake when long odds-on at Worcester and Anthony Honeyball’s gelding has every chance of landing his third race on the reel. However, he may find it difficult to concede 21lbs to TOUGHASOLDBOOTS (NAP) and Donald McCain’s filly is taken to build upon a fairly emphatic display against her own sex at Huntingdon. Bluberry High has a first race under Rules for some time but did win a point-to-point at Cothelstone last month. Armchair Farmer recently returned from wind surgery and needs to do better.
