Newcomer Fountain Crumble maybe the answer to this ordinary looking bumper with Mr Jawbreaker, Youlbesolucky and Creagh Bay worth noting. Coming from the Paul Nicholls yard which has a great record in these type of races Fountain Crumble has to be respected and with such a ordinary looking field to compete against he would not have to be a world beater to get off the mark first time of asking. Of his rivals Mr Jawbreaker has the most consistent form finishing in the first three on all three starts. He will go close again but is exposed on what he has achieved so far. Youlbesolucky comes from a yard that has just hit form so is worth noting in the market as is Creagh Bay who has shown form in these races in the past and is having his first run for a new stable. But for the winner we return to Fountain Crumble.
