PROJECT MARS arrives in the best form having been caught in the closing stages over track and trip last time. Nick Gifford’s charge handles fast ground and makes most appeal in a weak handicap. Summer Getaway posted a much better effort at Taunton recently and may build on that while Dropzone could be in the mix dropping back down in distance today. Alltimegold is one of the least exposed and Minella Style will appreciate today’s faster going having tumbled down the handicap.
