Oksana beat Say Nothing when scoring over a shorter trip here in September. The latter re-opposes on better terms though both have been beaten subsequently but Ballycrystal showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up at Sedgefield having slipped down the weights. MABELA is also back on a winning mark and drops back down in class after a recent fourth at Ludlow. Dan Skelton’s mare may prove the one to side with in this while Todd returns to action with a shout and is preferred to Eyes Right.
