LESS TIME made most when scoring easily over slightly shorter here in February so it was disappointing to see him blunder his way round Catterick a few days later. This isn't much of a race and he can get back to winning ways. Lord Landen looks a threat as he was up with the pace all the way when just outpaced by Wicklewood at Towcester and he's only 4lb higher than his last victory. Brass Monkey has won from higher marks over hurdles but hasn't impressed in two starts over fences while Herecomestrouble has yet to win a race of any description.
