LUDO'S LANDING shaped with promise on debut last month and can build on that effort to get off the mark. The son of Kodiac bumped into a good prospect from the Richard Fahey yard at Ayr, but he pulled clear of the rest so can see off the challenge of Monte Forte and Reward Smile, who also have the benefit of an encouraging first run behind them.
