    Verdict

    Junoesque is 8-19 around here and loves the trip and fast ground so has to be respected. TEMUR KHAN landed a seller here then had few problems seeing off Hidden Pearl in a handicap so a 7lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a hat-trick. Largo Bay had been competing on Polytrack before coming here and leading on the line in a similar handicap for which he's raised 3lb.
