JUNOOH was having his first start since April when chasing home the odds-on Battle Of Paradise at Chelmsford earlier this month with the remainder well beaten. He should have made enough progress to see off the two Mark Johnston runners. The beautifully-bred Zane Daddy didn't show much in two starts in minor company in France but Joe Fanning rides rather than newcomer Cathedral Street, who is related to five winners. Montelimar has been well beaten in three bumpers.
