      Verdict

      Beverley's stiff uphill climb and soft ground suited Park Place last time and he could do with some rain. Viceroyalty was beaten a long way on his debut at Brighton but should have come on for the run while the newcomer Debutante Blues has a superb pedigree and the market should tell us more about her chances. Dreaming Beauty ran a fine race at Newcastle and would have an outstanding chance on that form but she ran poorly on her only start on fast ground so the vote goes to LABISE, who has been staying on over a mile on her last two starts and should be ideally suited by today's trip.
