Verdict
TOPMEUP gets a token vote in what is effectively a maiden handicap. She was third over track and trip recently and an apprentice’s 5lb allowance could be enough to see her off the mark. Bonnie Arlene was second at Leicester in October and returns to action while State Residence finished ahead of Greyjoy when only sixth at Lingfield on his handicap debut. Panther In Pink was still beaten a long way when third here last month while both Chamasay and Red Shanghai finished well behind the selection last time.
