Verdict
What Do You Think never threatened when third on her handicap debut over 7f here in September and has her first start since. Odds On Oli finished closer dropped back to 7f at Wolverhampton last time but BARBARA VILLIERS (NAP) is preferred in this. Mark Johnston’s filly had no more to give in the closing stages over 1m2f last time so the return to a mile should suit as she goes handicapping for the first time. High Seas has yet to figure in handicaps though makes more appeal than either Leahcar or Plansina.
