Verdict

Each of these remain open to varying levels of improvement, with nursery debutant VIKING BARBIE edging the vote. Although underwhelming on her latest fourth at Beverley, a reproduction of her previous runner-up effort at Sandown could enable a breakthrough victory. Catterick scorer South West is heading in the right direction and Richard Hughes' charge is feared most, ahead of Secret Rival.

Top Tip: Viking Barbie (3)
Watch out for: South West (1)

SOUTH WEST showed plenty of improvement through his first three starts before opening his account in impressive fashion at Catterick last time, winning by more than four lengths. He could have more to offer and, despite a new mark, looks capable of following up given the ease of that success. Wolf's Gallop shaped better than the bare result when fourth at Leicester on handicap debut, beaten by little more than a length, and can bounce back, while Viking Barbie is another who could leave her latest effort behind based on a couple of prior showings, including a close second at Sandown two starts ago, now making her handicap and AW debut.
