Verdict
Swendab scored easily at Bath last week and has a penalty to carry in this. But he had earlier finished just behind BONJOUR STEVE over track and trip and the latter looks capable of confirming superiority on better terms today. Recent Ffos Las winner Lucky Clover also arrives in good form and should be a match for Swendab on earlier collateral form while both Jaganory and Only Ten Per Cent have slipped down the weights with the latter back on a winning mark.
