LORD LANDEN (NAP) was only beaten a couple of lengths when trying to make all at Warwick last time. A course and distance winner, he’s been successful three times in the past off similar marks and should have too much for these. Kempton third Speed Demon is entitled to be thereabouts but it’s difficult to drum up the same enthusiasm for Cor Wot An Apple and Bally Lagan. Tommy The Rascal was out on his feet when refusing 11 days ago at Fakenham and this may come too soon.
