Most Honourable and Multilicious finished second and third behind the potentially useful Azza last month at Carlisle and there's no obvious reason why placings should be reversed here. The remainder with a run under their belt have yet to display any clear promise and this could be a good opportunity for FORCED FAMILY FUN to make a winning debut over timber. A dual winner on the Flat for Michael Bell, he was especially impressive when routing the opposition at Ayr in October on soft ground under Tom Queally over 1m5f. He seems sure to have been well schooled by John Quinn who regularly does well with his juvenile hurdler team.
