Punters had their fingers burnt when Landrake, who had been beaten narrowly on heavy ground at Navan in February, ran a shocker when odds-on at Downpatrick. He's better than that but a chance is taken on the fitness of GOOD LAND. Barry Connell's charge chased home Grand Paradis at Fairyhouse almost two years ago and the winner, plus several who finished behind, have won subsequently. Ringsend John has come up against a couple of useful winners as has Master Player, who has joined Shark Hanlon. It's Not Ideal is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the market.
