Beach Breeze¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: C & M Johnston

11/4

Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in minor event (7/1) at Doncaster (5f, good) on debut 19 days ago. Could step forward markedly from that first effort, so no forlorn hope.

Form: 8

Montelusa

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

18/1

Foaled May 19. Washington Dc colt. Dam, ungenuine 5f-7f winner, half-sister to smart 6f winner Mattmu. Interesting on paper, so worth a market check.

Teatime Tipple¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mathers| T: T Coyle & K Wood

4/1

Once-raced maiden. 100/1, sixth of 12 in minor event at Doncaster (5f, good) on debut 19 days ago. Likely to have learned from that initial experience.

Form: 6

10/11

Promising sort. Won 8-runner minor event (9/2) at Redcar (5f, soft) on debut 10 days ago, driven out. Outstanding claims under a penalty.

Form: 1

Foaled March 1. £48,000 yearling, Mehmas filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 6f winner Spycatcher and winner up to 1m Reel Bizzy. Dam maiden. Bred to have plenty of speed.

Forecasts

Star Of Lady M (10/11), Beach Breeze (11/4), Teatime Tipple (4/1), Hour By Hour (12/1), Majil (16/1), Montelusa (18/1)

Having overhauled the Brocklesby runner-up at Redcar on debut, STAR OF LADY M is fancied to defy a penalty without necessarily needing to improve. Beach Breeze is likely to leave his debut form well behind, particularly as he may well be suited by this track (ridden positively on debut). The speedily-bred Majil is the clear pick of the newcomers.
