Verdict
Jupiter Fidius scored over C&D a fortnight ago under today's apprentice but may have trouble confirming superiority with runner-up GONINODAETHAT on worse terms. The latter has gone close on both starts this year and looks to have a good chance of opening his account here. Cheeky Wee Red got off the mark over a mile at Ayr last time with Shamo Hill Theatre behind but this is tougher and, while it's probably only a matter of time before Amethyst Dawn takes advantage of his slide down the weights, he's shown no signs of doing so yet.
