      In depth

      Verdict

      Clearance has been in good form and ran well again when second at Ayr last time without threatening the winner. Bobba Tee and Ravenscar finished almost upsides when filling the places over track and trip and are hard to separate but PAX BRITANNICA is the more progressive. David O’Meara’s filly is upped in class bidding for a hat-trick but won with plenty to spare over 1m6f at Chelmsford last time and this extra distance should be within her compass on that evidence.
