Petal Power

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon

14/1

Profitable half-sister to several winners, including very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Dubday (by Dubawi) and smart 13.3f-16.2f winner Dannyday. Plenty to like on paper so newcomer commands respect.

Baby Bay¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

2/1

Much better effort when third of 11 in minor event (18/1) over C&D 16 days ago. May do better still, so likely to go well again.

Form: 73

(7)

Bluebell Way³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J F Egan| T: M R Channon

10/1

Stepped up on debut run when fourth of 10 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good) 30 days ago. More is needed though if she's to figure here.

Form: 64

(12)

Clipsham Gold²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Appleby

50/1

Failed to build on debut seventh when only ninth of 13 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Lots more is required.

Form: 79

Costa Smeralda^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti

11/1

Outstrip filly. Closely related to winner up to 1¼m Excelegrif and half-sister to 3 other winners, notably smart 7f Malotru. Wears hood. Appeals on paper so newcomer is well worth a market check.

Form:

(5)

Faithful Spirit

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: L P Keniry| T: C G Cox

5/1

£6,000 yearling, Cable Bay filly. Closely related to 7f/1m winner Rich And Lucky and half-sister to 7f winner Tadarrok. Yard can ready its newcomers so she meits serious consideration.

Form:

(10)

Full Of Beans³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: Harry Eustace

7/2

18/1, better effort when fourth of 13 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 35 days ago. Likely to improve further, but she needs to here.

Form: 44

(3)

Langley Lady

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Eddery

33/1

10,000 gns 2-y-o, Kodiac filly. Sister to 7f winner Bentley Mood and half-sister to 1m winner Desert Empire. Others debutantes appeal more on paper.

Form:

(8)

Lil Guff¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: T E Whelan| T: D & C Kubler

6/1

40/1, hinted at promise when seventh of 15 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good) on debut 13 days ago. No forlorn hope if, as expected, building on initial effort.

Form: 7

(1)

Luv U Mum

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater

80/1

Heeraat filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1m-13.3f Luv U Whatever. Dam 7f/1m winner. Other debutantes make more appeal on breeding.

Form:

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: George Downing| T: J W Mullins

100/1

125/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW) on debut 24 days ago. Has lots to find on form.

Forecasts

Baby Bay (2/1), Full Of Beans (7/2), Faithful Spirit (5/1), Lil Guff (6/1), Bluebell Way (10/1), Costa Smeralda (11/1), Petal Power (14/1), Silverdale (28/1), Langley Lady (33/1), Clipsham Gold (50/1), Luv U Mum (80/1), Netton (100/1)

Those with experience don't set the bar too high so Clive Cox's Cable Bay filly FAITHFUL SPIRIT is taken to make a winning start and emerge on top in a race where the market should prove highly informative. Fellow debutante Costa Smeralda is another who appeals on pedigree and she can have a say along with Petal Power and C&D third Baby Bay.
