Verdict
LUNAR JET won this two years ago off a 5lb higher mark. The ground has turned in his favour again and this is his time of year so a big run is anticipated. First Impression was a cosy winner at Ayr last month and will also handle conditions but was behind Mr Alan earlier on the Scottish track. Precisely was biting off more than she could chew in a Listed race at Yarmouth last time but In The Breeze needs further and Wootton'Sun has also been racing over longer trips recently. Marhaba The Champ made a winning start in handicaps at Hamilton, however, and holds Roudemental. Cumulonimbus has won his last two on good to soft but is upped in grade.
