Fanamix was third at Ffos Las on his debut under Rules but ANOTHER BROWN BEAR (NAP) ran well when runner-up at Ludlow, with the winner placing subsequently in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham, and Nicky Henderson’s novice should go one better here. Dedanser was just behind Monday’s Ayr winner Famous Bridge at Carlisle so looks the danger with Ned Tanner held on that run.
