    Verdict

    A poor turnout sees the bottom three racing from just out of the handicap though that doesn't apply to BUBBLY BALLERINA, who has the best proven form with a win at Chester last September to her credit. She's 4lb higher today and makes her Fibresand debut but her half-brother, Toby Tyler, won twice on this surface so Alan Bailey's filly is just preferred to handicap debutante Bella Ophelia. The latter won her maiden in good style over C&D in January and is less exposed than Reve De Jour, who landed a seller over 6f here last time with the re-opposing Ishiamiracle a couple of lengths behind and looking up against it.
