Gumais¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: George Scott| OR: 62| BF

9/4

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/10, creditable third of 6 in nursery at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) 18 days ago, running on. Steadily progresive before that and can give a good account.

Form: 87333

Coco Hill¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: R Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 62

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Back on track when second of 8 in nursery at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 11/1) 11 days ago. Drop in trip looks a positive move and she rates as a player again.

Form: 54362

Skybluegold¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 58

33/1

Behind in maidens and fared little better when fifth of 6 in nursery at Salisbury (8f, good) 10 days ago. Significantly down in trip, which wouldn't look an obvious move given his pedigree.

Form: 0995

Alainn Tu^h³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 57

11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time and showed more when fourth of 8 in maiden (66/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 31 days ago. Mark looks on stiff side for handicap debut.

Form: 984

(7)

Miss Helen¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 54

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Yet to show any worthwhile form and is tough to fancy on nursery debut.

Form: 980

(6)

Destiny's Spirit²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 50

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fourth of 8 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive.

Form: 66554

(2)

Star Adaay²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: George Rooke| T: H Morrison| OR: 49

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 11 in maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy) 27 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Nothing to be positive about so far so needs to improve now handicapping.

Form: 000

(3)

Wedgewood²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: William Cox| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, showed first form when second of 6 in nursery at Brighton (5.3f, good) 25 days ago. Has good chance if able to back that up.

Form: 89642

Forecasts

Coco Hill (2/1), Gumais (9/4), Destiny's Spirit (11/2), Wedgewood (6/1), Alainn Tu (11/1), Star Adaay (18/1), Miss Helen (18/1), Skybluegold (33/1)

GUMAIS represents an in-form yard and has gone close on both starts in nurseries so far, so is marginally fancied to get the better of Coco Hill, who shaped as if the drop back to 6f would suit when runner-up at Leicester last time. Wedgewood is another player if able to back up her Brighton effort.
