Folkestone maiden winner Junoob has joined Amy Weaver since finishing last in a decent handicap at Ascot in September. He's best in at the weights but the jury's out on him at present and ZAMINA looks a safer option. He's been thereabouts in better company since winning a Goodwood seller in August and should run his race. The remainder look up against it on today's terms with the exception of Beat Of The Blues, although it's a bit disconcerting to see him at this level rather than a handicap after going close in a maiden at Lingfield last time.
