In depth
Verdict
LORD LANDEN hasn't raced since June but is only a pound higher than when scoring at Cheltenham at the end of last year so we'll take a chance on his fitness. Copper Birch dead-heated at Ffos Las on his reappearance and is only 2lb higher but Triggywinkle carries a penalty for last week's victory at Wincanton and Northandsouth has disappointed in a couple of races since returning from a summer break. Show's Over looked on an upward curve at Ludlow but soft going is a real concern.
