Landsman looks the one to beat on form but there are still a few stamina doubts about him at this trip, and it may pay to try and oppose him with THE VERY THING, who has actually passed the post in first place already but sadly the Fakenham stewards decided he'd done it by foul means, and he was demoted. This trip should suit him and he's taken to come out on top. Murphy's Law and Max Liebermann can fight it out for the bronze.
