Verdict
A winner over course and distance last month and second on a return visit nine days ago, JUNKANOO is facing lesser opposition today and can get his head back in front. Fifth at Wolverhampton last month when back on the Flat for the first time since March, This Ones For Fred is interesting while Haku has found some form and won a Class 6 over 1m4f here last time. Bascinet is proving frustrating but Mia Nicholls takes off 7lb today with Dundory probably best of the rest.
