      Verdict

      PLAY NICELY bolted up over course and distance during the week when attempting 1m4f for the first time. It's unlikely a 6lb penalty will prevent David Barron's charge from going in again. Dark Diamond also scored over track and trip last month but that was his first win in 17 attempts and he makes less appeal raised 7lb while course regular Northside Prince has crept back up the weights after a string of placed efforts here. It's hard to make a case for any of the remainder on recent form though Percy's Princess has gone close here in the past.
