La Landiere (FR) ran well tow outings ago when second behind a well handicapped horse but then he disappointed on heavy ground now that the ground has dried out he is fancied to run a big race despite top weight. Hidden Valley must also be respected in this wide open contest he won well on heavy ground last time out and if he handles this faster surface he will be a danger to all. Heracles is also at the top of his form but he is creeping up the weights. Of the others Hot 'N' Saucy could run well at a big price.
