18/1

Course winner. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (13/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 23 days ago, soon clear. Doesn't rate an obvious follow-up candidate, however.

5/2

Course winner. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (2/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago. Seen to good effect from the front then but he remains low-mileage and may do better still.

PAX BRITANNICA looked more tractable and duly showed improved form when scoring over shorter at Wolverhampton 10 days ago. Unexposed over staying trips, that ought not to prove her limit and she's fancied to go well again. Fellow last-time-out winner Flying Standard is an obvious threat, along with Abound and Arietta.
