Handicaps don't come much better than the Britannia, a big field full of developing 3-y-os, any number ahead of their mark, and the standard this year is as high as ever, the strength in depth making for one of the best form-races of the season; the 10 lowest drawn raced far side, collectively coming off second best, the first home there (American Hope) only sixth overall, albeit not far behind the stand-side principals, little getting into it from the back of the main group, a handful inevitably meeting some trouble with room at a premium.
