Verdict

Time To Think is 7lb higher that when scoring at Folkestone earlier in the month but should still go close here, although she has something to find with Mangonel on their run together at Taunton in November. Azione would be thereabouts on her best form but disappointed at Ffos Las last month, while Canshebemine hasn't been sighted since finishing well beaten in a seller at Newton Abbot last April. Gouranga is also returning from a break so the vote goes to ILLYSANTACHRISTINA, who is lightly-raced and had Lady Of Ashcott behind when runner-up to Smokey George on heavy ground at Uttoxeter three weeks ago - the winner franked the form next time.
