JUNCART improves with every start and finished well clear of the rest when runner-up at Catterick recently. He's less exposed than Westhoughton so gets the nod. The latter has had plenty of chances in similar company and was returned a losing favourite at Beverley last time while the remainder with experience are even harder to fancy. But the newcomer Doctors Papers is out of a prolific mare and can include smart sprinter Jimmy Styles among his winning relatives. He's worth noting in the betting.
