Beautiful Lando beat Midnight Trader when winning at Kempton last month, but had earlier finished behind COURT APPLAUSE in a maiden over C&D. The latter was runner-up on that occasion and Bill Muir's charge is taken to open his account on his handicap debut. Be Amazing was beaten only a length here off today's mark last time and has every chance. She's just preferred to recent Kempton third In Babylon and the returning Royal Reverie, but Twinkled will need to step up on his latest third at Wolverhampton to figure.
