        Verdict

        Fiendish has a superb pedigree which she has so far failed to live up to. This doesn't look the toughest of maidens but she may have to wait for a handicap to get off the mark. Archibelle couldn't quite hold the challenge of The Last Debutante in a 1m4f handicap at Doncaster and that's possibly her trip so the vote goes to SKETCH BOOK VENUE. He started favourite on his opening run at Redcar but looked very green and didn't get the clearest of runs. He'll have come on a bundle for the experience and should take this unless there's something special among the newcomers. Pat Shanahan sends the once-raced Leven from Ireland so he has to be respected.
