NATIVE BEAUTY gained a comfortable victory on her hurdling debut at Towcester but never got involved when sent over 2m5f in a better race at Southwell. She's much better than she showed that day and this is her trip so she can get back to winning ways. Golden Firebird made a winning racecourse debut in a Cheltenham bumper last April but has been disappointing on her last two starts and has her first outing over timber. Definite Memories won a point-to-point in November and will have benefited from her opening run over hurdles at Taunton last week while Queen Of Mantua, who had shown a little promise in bumpers, found 2m5f much too far on her debut over timber at Warwick.
