Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Patrick Magee, finishing second in 2m Tramore maiden on final start over there in October. Low-key start for this yard when mid-field at Taunton but might have needed the run.

Pulled up on chase debut in June but down in the weights and back on his game with a trio of placed efforts in handicap hurdles. Found his run of good form coming to a halt last time, however.

Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Beaten a long way on Lingfield hurdling debut but shaped well in novices at Chepstow and Huntingdon. Well worth monitoring now handicapping with tongue strap applied.

Shaped quite well when fourth on handicap debut at Worcester in 2021. Disappointing both start to end that year and missed all of 2022. Has left Dan Skelton and best watched.

Made a winning handicap debut with a tongue tie added (retained) at Taunton at the end of December. Had a bit in hand so a 6 lb rise shouldn't stop him from making another bold bid with further progress very much on the cards.

Modest maiden hurdler in Ireland, leaving Eoin Doyle after finishing well held on the AW in November. Beaten a fair way on sole completed start since joining this yard and others more persuasive.

Had been out of form when last seen 15 months earlier but made a solid return to action fitted in this headgear when second of 17 in handicap hurdle here (15.2f) last month. Still has a hint of untapped potential considering he's got the pedigree and looks of a better-than-modest performer.

Fairly useful form on Flat. Sold from Sir Michael Stoute 62,000 gns in July and shaped well when second of 10 in Sandown juvenile. No impact upped to Grade 2 company 3 weeks later but on a good mark if able to reproduce his Sandown form. Up in trip.

Showed a bit in bumpers and easily best effort over hurdles when second in a 5-runner Newton Abbot novice when last seen. That was 19 months ago, however, so wellbeing has to be taken on trust starting out for new yard.

Bagged a Stratford selling handicap in September and while that's his sole success from 21 starts over hurdles, he was runner-up 3 times on the bounce in November/December. Conditions perhaps against him last time.

Forecasts

Torula (5/2), Fame And Fun (11/4), Sami Bear (6/1), Jet Marshall (17/2), Havaila (9/1), Seymour Promise (16/1), Sermando (18/1), Helios Allen (18/1), Colden's Dream (20/1), Ferdinand Star (20/1), Baliyad (22/1), Benandgone (25/1), Dannystory (66/1), Pak Army (66/1), Phoenix Risen (66/1), Darksideoftarnside (80/1), Hazy Dream (200/1)

Verdict

FAME AND FUN had more in hand than the bare margin suggests when making a winning handicap bow at Taunton, so a 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent him from making another bold bid with further improvement very much on the cards. Havaila's opening mark is potentially a good one taking on his elders for the first time, while Torula and Jet Marshall are other handicap debutants to consider.
