      Verdict

      COMMISSIONED finished runner-up in a Grade 2 contest here in Februry before a close fourth behind Guitar Pete in the Grade One Four-year-Old Hurdle at Aintree. He sauntered home on his comeback at Cheltenham for which a penalty shouldn't prove a problem. Jupiter Storm will have learnt from his debut at Ludlow where he jumped to the right and faded after attempting to make all. Pithivier went for £45,000 at the Doncaster sales in May after showing some promise in bumpers for Peter Niven but the remaining pair haven't shown enough to merit consideration.
