      Verdict

      PROJECT MARS (NAP) will likely be a warm order in this finale even though it took him 12 attempts to get off the mark. Heavy going is no problem and a 5lb rise is not insurmountable in this company. Innis Shannon may not have stayed at Carlisle last month but is not getting any younger while Artic Mann, Ex S'elance and Golan Cloud have already had limitations exposed.
