Worcester winner Green Mining proved no match for Geneva Geyser at Fontwell last month but the winner looks a decent novice and Tim Vaughan's charge faces nothing of his calibre here. Having found one too good in her three previous starts, BRAVE BEAUTY won with the proverbial ton in hand here 11 days ago when hurdling debutant Bob's Ticket was third. The latter should improve for the experience but Gordon Elliott's mare can come out on top again and take this. Loch Dhu is progressing through the handicap ranks and should go well again while Tap Night is also open to further improvement.
