Makthecat had plenty of excuses at Southwell in February but is making his Turf debut. Brown Honey showed ability in a couple of outings last year but Squelch seems to prefer Polytrack. After 10 starts, SUDONA is not exactly unexposed but she is proven on the ground and over today’s trip and can make a winning start for David O’Meara. The Throstles also has solid claims as he won off a higher mark at Wolverhampton at the end of last year.
