Fortuitous Star²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 55

15/2

Respectable 5¾ lengths third of 9 to Kasino in nursery (7/2) at this C&D 21 days ago. Enjoys a healthy pull at the weights but it's still hard to envisage her turning the tables on that rival.

Form: 862233

(9)

How Exciting²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 54

17/2

Hooded for 1st time, bit below form 7¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Kasino in nursery at this C&D (7/1) 21 days ago. Didn't enjoy the best of runs on that occasion and she's not without hope.

Form: 677244

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good) 25 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time for this nursery debut and big step forward needed.

Form: 004

80/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in maiden (125/1) at Nottingham (5f, good) 23 days ago. In good hands but a complete transformation will be needed if she's to make a winning nursery debut.

4/1

Little Lips¹⁵

Weight: 9-10| Age: 2

T: I Furtado J: Joey Haynes

Forecasts

Kasino (7/2), Pocket The Packet (4/1), Revolucion (4/1), Fortuitous Star (15/2), How Exciting (17/2), Ladywantaway (9/1), B Associates (10/1), Little Lips (12/1), Mint Edition (14/1), Heathcliff's Girl (16/1), The Camacho Kid (28/1), Princess Luna (80/1)

The most appealing of these is KASINO, who proved a revelation when making a winning all-weather debut over this C&D 3 weeks ago. That form was boosted when the second, Lupset Flossy Pop (due to run in the 6.15 on this card), scored next time. Fortuitous Star and How Exciting were third and fourth respectively in that nursery and should both have a part to play but Revolucion, who raised his game when second at Chelmsford last time, is second choice.
