Verdict
Judged on her victory at Uttoxeter VICKY'S CHARM (NAP) certainly seems to be progressing and Barry Brennan's mare can go in again off only a 4lb higher mark. After two seconds, Rye House has climbed the weights again and looks worth opposing, while Galuppi hasn't managed a single success in 17 career starts and is not getting any closer to breaking that sequence. Smoky Hill may have a bit of scope but it is not easy to fancy either Victory Rich or New Tarabela.
