Verdict

Irish raider MR LANDO never figured on a recent visit to Fakenham but A P McCoy takes over the reins for this and presumably more is expected from Gordon Elliott's charge. Air Chief won a seller at Catterick in December and Craftybird landed a plating race at Leicester in November. Bathcounty has tumbled down the weights and Tribal Dance may do better in this lowly grade.
