Any one of these could take this though The Bishops Baby has something to prove after flopping badly in a three-runner race here last time. The heavy ground could have been the reason and she can do better while Little Carmela, who has struggled badly since scoring at Leicester in November, has been dropped a few pounds as a consequence. The same remark applies to Petit Fleur, a very easy winner at Newton Abbot in August but still 11lb higher despite running moderately since. Chocolat, a dual winner in France, is just beginning to find her form for Susan Nock and Illysantachristina should find this trip more to her liking after fading over 2m6f at Ffos Las. LINDSAY'S DREAM has yet to win a race of any description but came very close over two miles on heavy ground here a month ago when caught close home and better conditions this time can see her prevail.
