      Verdict

      Junoesque is bidding for a ninth course victory but has looked in the handicapper’s grip since completing a double here in May. WISPER beat Headshot on her reappearance here in May and was impressive again on a return visit to the track last month. She allowed the favourite first run at Epsom subsequently but still holds Gangway on that effort. Arclight returned to action with a third at Sandown eight days ago and will be a big danger if that has blown away a few cobwebs.
