A maiden winner at Wolverhampton last year, FAST LANDING debuts on Turf today. An apprentice takes 5lb off his back as he drops down a grade and Saeed bin Suroor’s charge is preferred to Dance Teacher. The latter just held on to win at Kempton last time under a canny ride from Silvestre De Sousa while Colonel Frank finished fourth over 1m1f here recently but may prefer softer going. Prost was placed over track and trip on his penultimate start and sports first-time headgear today.
