    Verdict

    The drop back in trip is a concern but SHANTUNG probably came up against a well-handicapped rival over 2m4f here at the start of the month and she could go one better. Yauthym has yet to win a race but she only weakened close home on her return to action at Uttoxeter in October. To Fly Free won over track and trip in the same month but was then only fourth on her handicap debut at Hereford and showed little on the all-weather subsequently. Gazette Bourgeoise has decent claims, however, having only run twice over timber so far.
