Verdict
FLAVIA TATIANA profited from lenient handicap rating when scoring over C&D three runs ago but she has been far from disgraced in a couple of subsequent outings off her revised mark. Aidan O'Brien's filly looks the one to beat again as she appears to have the beating of last month's C&D second Master Melody on a line through Elizabeth Coffee. Blewit is edging up the weights, despite not winning, while Gort Na Mona disappointed at Navan in October and hasn't raced since. Bleuker wasn't beaten far on his first start on this surface in September, however, and is now 3lb lower. He could easily reward each-way support.
