Verdict
KNOCKLAYDE SNO CAT made a decent start over hurdles with a third at Ayr at the start of the month. She has more scope than the likes of Catchthemoonlight and Definitely Glad and gets the nod in a modest maiden. Style Setter has yet to threaten and Blast Martha was well beaten on her hurdling bow in soft ground along with Tara Mac. But the latter had gone close in bumpers earlier and may fare better on today's good going.
