Lethal Lunch is an interesting runner on his first start for Clive Cox and he may appreciate this longer trip while Barford is clearly still progressing and seems on a fair mark. However, CHEEKY RASCAL looks on a fair mark after the rival that beat him last time came out and won in Group company since and he gets the services of Ryan Moore this time around.
