Time To Tinker scored over a longer trip on soft ground here in March but found the ground a bit lively on a return visit so could find HONNEUR D'AJONC has too much pace for him at this stage. Jane Williams' four-year-old didn't have much to do to land the odds at Hereford but relished the fast ground and can make his pace count. Dual Flat winner Mahanakhon Power is another who will like the conditions and can go well on his hurdling bow.
