Verdict
THAT'LL DO NICELY came good on his return to the track and is taken to follow up at the expense of Parhelion and Park's Prodigy. The selection is six pounds higher in the weights since gaining victory over course and distance last month. He is a versatile type that has conditions in his favour once again and if he recaptures his recent form he should take all the beating. Parhelion has run well on all three starts for Mark Johnston breaking his maiden tag at Wolverhampton in the process. He has since jumped ship into Tim Vaughans yard and is sure to have his supporters. Park's Prodigy is a tough and consistent sort who seems to always give his supporters a good run for their money. He won at Musselburgh on his penultimate outing and was not discredited on his latest outing at Newcastle. Although he has crept up the weights of late he is sure to be in the shake up come the business end of the race. That'll Do Nicely won well last time out and is taken to do the same again.
