GOOD BALL had 3 next-time winners in behind, including Gowel Road, when scoring over C&D in December, so there's plenty to like about his follow-up claims fitted with a first-time tongue tie. Ahorsewithnoname produced highly encouraging first effort over hurdles in November and is expected to improve, with Gowel Road and Hoi Polloi others to note in an intriguing opener.
