Forecasts

Hadman (2/1), Geocentric (11/4), Up Above (3/1), Heart To Heart (11/2), Mary Pickersgill (16/1), Stickyourneckout (28/1), Benevolent (33/1), Wyckham B (66/1), Walking On Clouds (80/1)

GEOCENTRIC has a speedy pedigree, is in good hands, and has been found a reasonable starting point, so she's worth chancing to make a winning debut at the likely expense of Hadman, the only winner in the field. Up Above also warrants respect.
