Mission To Mars can complete a hat-trick at the expense of Man The Gate and Lazzaz in the finale. Mission To Mars has suddenly found his form again, and as he acts on the all-weather, is taken to continue his good form under Simon Walker. Man The Gate is not badly treated but was ridden by Simon at Ascot last time, and the fact that he switches mounts could be a tip in itself. Lazzaz normally does well at Wolverhampton and gained his first win for some time there recently. He may be taken off his feet though on this faster surface, and is passed over in favour of Mission To Mars who is the final selection on the eight-race card.
