Junoesque won over track and trip last month and had every chance back here yesterday. Summer Valley scored at the track in June and has placed since but BIG BAD BOBBY was narrowly beaten in a classified race at Nottingham last time and can go one better back in a handicap with headgear applied. Gold Souk wasn’t beaten that far when only sixth at Epsom with Knowing behind and Fascinating Shadow makes his handicap debut having been gelded since last in action.
