Britannia Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Str)
Arguably the most competitive three-year-old handicap of the season and this year's renewal looks as open as ever. Native Warrior scored a shade cosily when opening his account in a maiden at Nottingham last month and makes his handicap bow off what looks a workable mark. The son of Wootton Bassett looks nicely drawn in stall 31 and he must enter the reckoning. However, QIRAT was slightly more taking when overcoming a troubled passage at Goodwood in late May and edges the verdict. A 4lb rise in the ratings for that handicap bow may underestimate Ralph Beckett's charge and another big pot could be headed his way. The hat-trick seeking Volterra isn't taken lightly upped in class, while a first-time visor could eke some improvement out of the Aidan O'Brien-trained Air Commander. Fellow Irish raider Follow Me arrives on the back of a career-best performance having landed the spoils at the Curragh and the Shalaa colt makes more each-way appeal than most.
