Fame And Fun - 13:30 Wincanton

Flags: Horse In Focus, Hot Trainer

Fame And Fun showed improved form to get off the mark on his handicap debut at Taunton a few weeks ago, only winning by a neck but looking value for extra having travelled strongly for a long way before edging ahead close home. The first two pulled clear of the rest and that suggests Fame And Fun could be still one step ahead of the handicapper following a 6 lb rise in the weights, particularly when you factor in his scope for more improvement after just four starts over hurdles. The red-hot form of the Paul Nicholls yard (72% of horses running to form) also gives cause for optimism.
