NO FAME NO GAME was no match for Magic Daze when second at Clonmel in January but the latter went on to finish runner-up in a Grade 2 hurdle at Cheltenham. She’s switched to Emma Lavelle’s yard subsequently and may prove good enough in this. Oneupmanship has a shout on earlier efforts in handicaps though Tallow For Coal is less exposed and went close at Uttoxeter back in November. Barely Famous can only improve for her powerful yard and Not Sure is another capable of better judged on form in bumpers.
