MISSION TO MARS was a beaten short-priced favourite at this level last time on yielding ground but is worth another chance in this small field. He is weighted to comfortably finish ahead of HOTARUBI and TEXAS MISSILE on the form of that race and firmer ground will be more to his liking. PRINCE OF KILDARE could pose the biggest threat on the form of an earlier meeting with the selection. DIWALI ROCKET and OPEN HIGHWAY can get into the picture too.
