Verdict
PRIVATE SECRETARY, a half-brother to seven winners, started a short-priced favourite on his debut at Yarmouth but just found one too good. Normal improvement will see him very difficult to beat and those with experience haven’t shown anything like the same level of form. Godolphin’s Space Blues, a half-brother to a Group 2 winner and two other winners, is one to note on his debut as is the Mastercraftsman filly Nette Rousse, from a yard going well. The likes of Smarter and Mokuba are types to improve from moderate opening runs.
