Verdict
Brown Bullet is not out of this dropped another pound while Wincanton third Shirocco's Dream seeks to add to her two victories in the autumn but SAINTE DOCTOR (NAP) has been an improved performer since returning from a break and she appeared to have plenty in hand at Uttoxeter last month. The lightly-raced Piccadilly Lilly should have more to offer while maiden winner Puffin Bay is also interesting in only her second handicap.
