      Verdict

      Junior looks good in the opener, with Punjabi and Scotland Yard looking best of the rest. Junior stands out based on his racecourse debut second to the very useful Pauillac and is the one to beat. Nicky Henderson's debutant Punjabi is one to monitor in the betting, while Scotland Yard's third to Pancake at Newbury last time warrants him respect. With the likes of Henrietta Knight and Charlie Mann also represented, a look at the betting might be in order but the rest have a bit to prove with Junior getting a solid vote.
