MARTY MISSION never looked like getting to the useful Made In Time at Ludlow just over a week ago but this doesn't look as competitive and Becky Furber's 12-year-old can go one better here. Seigneur Des Bois has claims on his second to Foundry Square at Newbury last month while Swansbrook has been in decent form between the flags but it's difficult to see many of the others getting involved at the business end.
