Somekindofstar finished 12 lengths ahead of Hamilton Dici when second at Fontwell and is only 3lb worse off. On Call won twice at Chepstow before being pulled up at Exeter. Neil The Legend won at Uttoxeter just over a year ago for Nicky Henderson and is back with the champion trainer but JUNIPER should make a much chaser than hurdler. Placed between the flags, he’s had only three runs under Rules and will love today’s conditions.
