      Verdict

      Roger Thorpe finished second here back in August and though he never looked like catching the winner on that occasion, he should figure again in this. Primary Route's best effort so far was a debut second at Redcar, but Lady Of The Vine has been off the track for over a year and her stable hasn't had a winner at Southwell for some time now. DARING PURSUIT wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to land this on her debut and given her half-sister Daring Affair won on the Fibresand, Karl Burke's filly gets the nod.
