SUDONA finished ahead of Baryshnikov when second over 1m4f last time but had finished closer over today’s trip at Haydock before that. David O’Meara’s mare gets the vote on that form. Little India was still beaten a long way when runner-up over a mile and Zlatan is preferred on last month’s placed effort at Windsor. Michele Strogoff wasn’t beaten far at Beverley a fortnight ago with Aiya behind and is another to consider in this lower grade while Vampish has been in good form over 1m4f recently and looks best of the rest.
