All three make their hurdling debuts though FAMOUS FUNCTION has the superior form in bumpers. Donald McCain’s mare placed at Sedgefield last time and is a half-sister to winner over timber. Fit For Flight and Densworth were both well beaten in bumpers on their debuts though the latter has undergone wind surgery subsequently.
