A GREAT EXCUSE showed a good attitude when opening his account at Lingfield last month and with that form working out extremely well he looks very much the way to go here. Touquet has also started out promisingly over fences and is next on the list with Kahavari, Sanitiser and Plantaroma in the mix for minor honours.
