WHITEFOUNTAINFAIRY is capable of useful form and ran well when fourth to George Bowen in a fair event on seasonal return, suggesting her winning turn is not at all far away. There are plenty of dangers in a decent event, including Sir Michael Stoute's Qaroun who seems sure to be up with the pace. Maksab and Glenn Coco are others with a chance, while Salt Whistle Bay won on seasonal return in 2018 so is worth a second glance as he begins the new campaign here.
