      Verdict

      Play Nicely beat Kashmir Peak and The Lock Master when scoring over track and trip last month. He won with a bit to spare and is fancied to confirm superiority despite an 8lb rise. Weald Of Kent is upped in class off a higher mark as he attempts a hat-trick of course and distance wins. He is still preferred to the returning Karam Albaari but this can go to RALPHY LAD (NAP). The latter has been threatening to score here all winter and today could be his day dropping back down a grade given Alan Swinbank has trained two of the last three winners.
