Verdict

LANDAU won a couple of Polytrack races for Sylvester Kirk and was having just his second start for Gordon Elliott when chasing home Gusty Rocky at Tramore. He has a few pounds to concede to Captain Carleton. a good second to Equity Rock at Cork, but should be up to the task. Mighty Leader was beaten a long way on his hurdling debut here in December and Burnt Sienna is plating class though did better when a close third on the Flat at Tramore.
