      Verdict

      WINDSOR CROSS made all over track and trip in a higher grade contest than this last time. He won a shade cosily in the end and Richard Fahey’s charge can shrug off a 3lb rise in the weights and go in again. Hard Graft has been thereabouts at Southwell but The British Lion has made little impression in handicaps lately. How Bizarre may get involved now handicapping for the first time though has his first start since October along with the more-exposed Ventura Gold.
