Verdict
Junooh didn't have much to do to beat three rivals at Beverley but enjoyed the soft ground and came home with his head in his chest. A mark of 78 looks to be underestimating his ability and he should make a bold bid for a successful handicap debut. Skyman, scored on fast going at Sandown but went close on soft at Newbury previously while Global Gift completed a hat-trick in early summer and has continued to run well at this level. He'll love the conditions so is greatly respected as is MAJESTIC DAWN and it's Paul Cole's colt who gets the nod. He's been plying his trade in the top handicaps since winning a Newbury maiden in April and his latest run in the Cambridgeshire suggests he's ready to return to winning ways in this company. Music Seeker has won around here but was well beaten in the latter event.
