PROJECT MARS showed good form when placed on his debut for this yard last time out and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. The selection represents a good yard and he can get the better of Very Intense who also finished runner-up on his most recent outing. Third place can go the way of the four-year-old Say The Word who receives weight from all bar one of his rivals and should appreciate this step up in distance.
