A few in with a squeak but it was hard not to be impressed by the way WHATABOUTYEH sauntered to victory over fences at Cartmel on Friday so, provided this doesn't come too soon, Sam England's 6-y-o is fancied to take his record to 2-2 at this track. Just Call Me Al lurks on a dangerous mark, so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of recent C&D winner Blue Sans and the mercurial Betty's Belle.
