MONEYMIX tries to follow up last week's comfortable Fakenham win under a penalty and is probably the one to beat, though it would be no surprise to see Khazium run him close as he would have found the ground too quick for him last time at Leicester. Carhue Princess won over a longer trip here in November but only beat one home at Bangor next time and was then pulled up at Leicester. Bishops Gate and Whiskey Chaser still have much to prove.
