Verdict
MR LANDO will appreciate the fast going having scored at Kempton last week by 10 lengths. He is taken to defy a penalty and go in again. Tidestream is upped 9lb for a win on soft ground at Southwell but Frozen Over only does just enough and should make a bold bid for a hat-trick raised only 4lb for his latest win at Wincanton. Fairy Alisha was beaten a short-head at Ffos Las and makes most appeal of the remainder given Sword Of The Lord looks no nearer to breaking his duck over timber.
