      Verdict

      HONNEUR D’AJONC found one too good under a penalty here last time with Mahanakhon Power well beaten but won on fast ground at Hereford before that. He gets another chance in this company with Glajou returning from a lay-off. The latter has undergone wind surgery and is preferred to stablemate Don Alvaro having won off a similar mark over fences last year. Rose Kar showed little on his hurdling debut.
