      Verdict

      JUSTICE DAY can complete a first-race double for David Elsworth as he was value for much further than the winning margin at Newmarket last time suggests and Royal Ascot beckons. Withernsea made all for an emphatic victory over the course and distance a month ago and will prove a worthy opponent while the filly Pigeon Pie was always in the firing line when scoring at Newcastle and her allowance will help. None of the remainder can be dismissed with Jacquotte Delahaye catching the eye on her debut at Beverley.
