Goodie Two Shoes (11/8), Silent Approach (6/4), Zoomtime (17/2), Final Decision (11/1), Shoot Champagne (16/1), Lady Masquerade (20/1), Lackaneen Mag (28/1), Dark Image (33/1), Only A Dollar (50/1), Ballerina Boxer (66/1), Spyfall (100/1), Phoebe's Charm (100/1), Tropical Image (125/1), Coillte Aris (150/1), Madam Baun (250/1)

GOODIE TWO SHOES has made a solid start over hurdles and she should get closer to her useful Flat form as she gains experience, so she's a confident choice to open her account. Lackaneen Mag and Sient Approval appeal as the chief dangers.
