Verdict
Those with experience have not looked anything out of the ordinary so far and that includes the John Gosden pair Taqdees and Southern Stars. There was little between Folly Bergere and Iona Island at Newmarket in October though both were a long way behind the winner and one of the newcomers may prove good enough in this. Adalene is related to a Listed winner and Ajman Princess is a half-sister to the 111-rated Naqshabban. But it's ATONE that takes the eye on breeding as she is a half-sister to a couple of winners and a sister to three winners including the high-class Midday. She has no fancy entries as of yet but that will soon change if the Stoute filly possesses similar ability to that of her siblings.
