        Verdict

        Jupiter Road has won around here and is back in this grade after stepping up in class last time. He only had a neck to spare over Vampish last month and the latter has been beaten a long way in three subsequent starts. Thorntoun Care was last successful in an amateurs' race here a year ago and that was on soft ground but those conditions didn't suit DANGEROFFIZZ here last month. He'd looked a progressive type when scoring on good ground at Ripon then beaten a short-head over this track and trip and wasn't at home in testing going last time. Contrast has returned after a break in very good form being narrowly beaten here and at Newcastle and is 6lb lower compared to his all-weather mark so looks a real threat but Double Reflection hasn't won for two years.
