Made winning start on AW at Lingfield, cosily; in good hands and open to improvement
4 (7)	Wicket Keeper b J:Kevin Stott T:Edward Bethell	J:Kevin Stott T:Edward Bethell	137	—	3-1	-	82	45	29d	—	—	-15	25.4	11/8 42%
Saw off nine rivals at Catterick; still has untapped potential; probably the one to beat

South African-bred gelding, out of a Listed sprint winner; needs monitoring in the market
7 (9)	Goyard b J:David Nolan T:David O'Meara	J:David Nolan T:David O'Meara	130	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.1	12/1 8%
Bought for £115,000 at last year's breeze-ups; interesting newcomer on paper
8 (3)	Hockney b J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Tom Dascombe	J:Pierre-Louis Jamin T:Tom Dascombe	130	—	07	-	63	53	21d	—	—	-2	0.9	28/1 3%
Beaten 12l+ in two runs over 7f; this drop in distance could be in his favour
5 (4)	Ballitore b J:Harrison Shaw T:Phillip Makin	J:Harrison Shaw T:Phillip Makin	130	—	7	-	52	36	10d	—	—	-1	0.4	80/1 1%
Green and in rear throughout when seventh of eight at Ripon; lots to find
2 (2)	Six Of Diamonds b J:Joey Haynes T:Scott Dixon	J:Joey Haynes T:Scott Dixon	137	—	05	-	55	46	18d	—	—	-1	0.5	80/1 1%
Some improvement when fifth of ten at Catterick; far more required
6 (1)	Both Of Us b J:Grace McEntee T:George Boughey	J:Grace McEntee T:George Boughey	130	—	86	-	58	-	10d	—	—	-1	0.4	100/1 1%
Weak in market and nearer last than first in AW novices; probably a longer-term prospect
NR (5)	Secret Sonata b J:William Carver T:Andrew Balding	J:William Carver T:Andrew Balding	125	h	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—
The only filly in this line-up; represents a leading stable; hooded for debut
