A four-time winner over hurdles, CASA NO MENTO shaped as if in need of the experience when fourth in a listed mares novice at this course on chasing debut in November, so she is taken to open her chase account with a recent run over hurdles behind her. She can get the better of Cabhfuilfungi, who has been holding his form well over fences this season.
