Verdict

FIRST VERSE has tumbled down the weights since the summer and posted her best effort yet when runner-up over track and trip last month. She’s taken to confirm running with Lancashire Life, Astrophysics and Qaaraat. The latter has subsequently gone close at Newcastle with Cool Spirit behind while Dylan's Lad and the returning Q Twenty Boy drop back down in trip. Mansfield has a shout on a recent third here but just the one success on the all-weather in 40 previous attempts is off-putting.
