Most of these are old foes and SWENDAB was winning for the first time this year when scoring at Ffos Las last week. He’s penalised for that but has won off today’s higher mark in the past and was reversing earlier running with Jaganory last time. The latter won over track and trip on his penultimate start when also beating Molly Jones but was only third behind Amberine at Bath before that. Broadhaven Honey has twice found Molly Jones too good this season though re-opposes on better terms today.
