Brave Vic was second on his debut over C&D 12 days ago and will be fancied to go one better. Was My Valentine may not have beaten much in a mares' race at Fakenham, however, and has a penalty to carry here while Suerte Al Salto stopped very quickly on debut at Wincanton in November and may need more time. Anthony Honeyball and Rachael Green have a terrific record when teaming up in bumpers and BUFFY THE BEATLE, though bred to be a chaser, will know what's required and can make a winning debut.
