Movement down from top to the bed slow

Hi
I am using Repetier Host & the Cura software, after slicing the print, my x carriage move to the Top of my printer and homes. Then it move down to the bed to print. The problem I am having and don't know what setting to change is that when the X carriage move down to the bed it moves very slowly. Printing and moving up are quick enough but the move down just before it starts pring takes forever.

Whick setting effects that moment down. I think its a setting in Cura as the Slic3r it moves fine.

Thanks

In Slic3r, it's in the printer section where you can add gcode to run at the beginning, etc, etc. of a print, and, IIRC, the default is something like 'G1 Z5 F3000'

G1 means move
Z5 means to 5mm height
F3000 means at a speed of 3000mm/min

I suspect that Cura has a similar section that needs tweaking . . .

Thanks Tim, I have a look under the Start G-code and see if I can add the speed.
