Fast Mix looks more than capable of seeing off his rivals here, with Lunar Lord perhaps the one who can give him most to do. The selection is a long way clear of these on official ratings, being on a mark of 119. Martin Pipe's charge was leading when falling three out over course and distance in a similar contest last time, and can gain compensation here without too much trouble. Lunar Lord ran well off this sort of mark in a seller at Stratford last month, though he has been fairly well beaten since in two further starts. This drop back to two miles is not certain to suit and although he has the form to make the frame it is hard to see him winning. Of the others Saif Sareea will enjoy the cut in the ground and may be up to taking home some prize money, but a confident choice here is Fast Mix.
