HONNEUR D'AJONC (3) ran well when a smart 1L second in a 2m claiming hurdle at Catterick. Finds ideal opportunity to go one place better. Leading contender. MATCHLESS (2) was not disgraced in the same Catterick event when 9.5L fourth that day. Expected to build on that effort. Rates highly. GREATNESS AWAITS (1) scored by a neck a 2m handicap hurdle at Hereford before a 2m4f Southwell fifth last week. Holds claims. BLACK TONIC (5) might improve.
