      Verdict

      BONNIE ARLENE has been threatening on the all-weather and went close at Leicester the last time she raced on Turf. She may prove good enough in this and is preferred to handicap debutante Babamunchkin and Livella Fella, who is now back on a winning mark but struggling for form. Rubis won on Polytrack in November but that's her only win in 18 attempts so far while Inflexiball has not won anywhere as of yet. La Havrese won off a similar mark at Musselburgh last term but hasn’t raced since Boxing Day last year.
