MOUNTAIN TUNES is unbeaten after a couple of wins at Towcester. The form of both victories looks very solid and it will be a surprise if he's not good enough to complete the hat-trick, despite conceding weight all round. Brave Vic gets 10lb and could give the selection most to think about as he has come up against decent opposition at Lingfield and Plumpton so far. He makes more appeal than recent Towcester scorer Pink Gin, though the latter may be improving. Jonjo O'Neill's second string, Spookydooky, and Tracking Time probably have a bit to find to get involved.
