DRAGONFRUIT made a winning chasing/handicap debut at Carlisle 9 days ago, presented with the sort of test he's bred to relish. This step up in trip looks sure to suit and he's taken to follow up quickly switched back over timber. Project Mars goes really well round here and he's an obvious danger having scored over C&D 6 weeks ago, ahead of Zhiguli and Shanroe Tic Tec.
