Verdict
A couple of these have been off the track since May. Prince of Zenda was well beaten in a couple of handicaps back then so BRITANNICA is preferred on her second in a maiden on soft ground at Thirsk. Night Breeze and Shaka showed a modicum of improvement on their latest starts without threatening.
