Points winner DONTYAWANTME was given too much to do at Newcastle on her debut under Rules but was always travelling like a winner next time at Huntingdon and she’ll relish this test. Saint Bibiana won on heavy going at Uttoxeter but Casa No Mento has more scope and beat Golden Millie at Hereford. Goodtimecrew just got the better of Larchmont Lass at Wincanton and there should be little between the pair again, though Mercian Omen is just as interesting as she was an eye-catcher at Wetherby and has a nice NH pedigree.
