If there's a runner here with the ability to be a factor in the Triumph itself it's surely JUPITER DU GITE, who lowered the colours of a well-touted Nicky Henderson runner on his British debut at Newbury and there was certainly no fluke about that performance despite his unflattering SP. Comfort Zone is already a winner at this Grade 2 level but he didn't have much in hand come the line with Dixon Cove closing fast and that rival may reverse the form this time on these terms.
