Versifier won at Hereford in October and has since gone close again at Leicester off today’s mark but DING DONG represents last year’s winning yard and was placed in a tougher contest over track and trip recently. Sheena West’s mare gets the vote having scored off a higher mark on fast ground here in November. Kentford Mallard also won here the same month but has struggled subsequently while Mrs Miggins and Potters Sapphire were placed at Ludlow and Huntingdon respectively last time and could be in the mix.
