Verdict

Snookered was disappointing over hurdles over the winter but this represents a drop in class. Charlie Arthur has been lightly raced on Turf but has won six times on the all-weather. Wow William won over this trip at Lingfield in the autumn but BOOKMARK is probably the one to beat on her latest third at Pontefract if she stays this trip.
