LANDUCCI is a course specialist and he can add to his excellent record here; Dalrymple and Mountain Pass look the main dangers. The selection is nowhere near as good as he once was and he disappointed here last time, but in this company he is worth another chance and he is sure to be popular with punters. Dalrymple has relatively few miles on the clock but he was a big disappointment at Leicester last time when he finished seventh of 12 in this grade. Mountain Pass is dropped back in trip and he is arguably better over further than this and on that basis he is passed over. Herecomesbella, Final Drive and Yellow River are others with an outside chance, but Landucci ticks more boxes than most and he looks the percentage call.
