Verdict

Junoesque is an eight-times course winner but has been beaten twice off this mark recently. Cryptos Dream was well supported and didn't run badly for new connections over a trip too short at Windsor last week but Young Winston is on a long losing run. The Game Is Up weakened close home when tackling a mile at Windsor but RITA RANA has run very well from this mark the last twice and it's time she was winning again.
