LUJANO has got better with each run over course and distance on his last three starts and he is the selection ahead of Manchestermaverick. Ollie Pears' gelding chased home Gramm last time in what was a career-best effort on the surface and he can get his head in front here under the steering of Paul Mulrennan. Manchestermaverick looks most interesting stepped up in trip and should be monitored in the market.
