        Verdict

        The veteran Megalala won last year's renewal off a lower mark but today's apprentice is not eligible to claim. GLENNTEN makes more appeal given Jack Budge negates most of a 6lb penalty incurred for scoring over track and trip last week. He can confirm running with Bennelong, three lengths behind in third, and go in again. Tamujin was narrowly beaten here a fortnight ago and is 2lb higher for this while Polydamos is capable of making the frame but remains without a win in 31 attempts.
