      Verdict

      Pax Britannica has something to prove off her current mark 8lb higher than when scoring here in October. Beat The Breeze has looked high enough in the weights since landing a hat-trick at the end of last year while Aldrich Bay may also be in the handicapper's grip. Jen's Fella drops down from 2m but JUSTIFIED finished in front of Severus Alexander when a close-up third over today’s distance at Catterick on his recent comeback and Mark Johnston’s charge should make a bold bid racing off the same mark.
