Khusoosy's poor effort at Nottingham may well have been down to the soft ground but he's fitted with a visor for the first time today anyway. Course winner Muradif is now 9lb higher and has come up short on his last couple of outing but LANDWADE LAD was sent off favourite for a Class 2 event at Newmarket on his handicap debut and ran well for third. He'll find this easier and is preferred to the other lightly-raced types Todegica, Little Riggs and Spring Dixie.
