In depth
Verdict
Landaman has twice made all at Beverley for facile victories but will find it difficult to shake off these better rivals after a big weight rise. Troopingthecolour has run two tremendous races this season but is now on his highest mark as a consequence while the consistent Little Rocky loves the trip and will enjoy any cut in the ground. Shavansky had dropped to a very fair mark when runner-up at Kempton and is lower than when scoring at Chepstow last July. TRADE COMMISSIONER has had his problems which is why he's only run twice but he looked a potential pattern race performer when landing a strong maiden at Sandown last month and begins in handicaps on a relatively comfortable mark. He's taken to land this under Ryan Moore.
