MULLENBEG had plenty in hand at Ludlow last week so a 7 lb penalty may not prevent her going in again, for all this is undoubtedly a stronger race. Punctuation is another on a winning run and heads the dangers along with Jonjo O'Neill's Anyharminasking. Gary Moore French recruit LE PATRON would also need considering if the betting suggests she's fancied.
