MR LANDO made a bold bid to make all at Taunton and the winner has gone in again. He could have done without a 4lb rise but should give a good account and gets the vote. Lubatic, a winning bumper, showed nothing over hurdles until well supported at Huntingdon where he beat all bar Red Admiral. Connections will be looking for compensation in this poor event in which King Cnut hasn't shown so far though is eased in grade and Royal Etiquette is 0-18 over hurdles.
