Formscan  - Now that the penny has dropped for LUNAR CHIEF over hurdles after a success over C&D, Ruth Jefferson's charge is likely to have plenty more to come on his handicap bow. A mark of 113 looks manageable and he may have too much for Forged Well, who bounced back to winning ways with a determined display over shorter here last month. Follow Charlie and Kingston Bridge are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
