Verdict

JUPITER REX is taken to regain the winning thread after demonstrating that the ability still remains when only beaten just over six lengths in heavy ground over hurdles on a first start for 20 months. He rattled up a seven-timer in late 2012 and early 2013 and remains an interesting. Russe Blanc and Roll The Dice could be threatening from the foot of the weights as both are perfectly at home on the heavy. The Mulholland yard has been going well and Barton Gift would also be a threat if ready after a break, though his completion record is far from blemish-free. Big Society has always looked the sort to make a chaser and looked to be getting his act together on his final two runs over fences last term so is another to note irrespective of his fate here.
