11/1

Modest colt. 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Claims of hitting the frame if blinkers have positive effect now.

14/1

Foaled April 11. Pastoral Pursuits colt. Dam 5.7-6f winner. Last of 6 in maiden at Doncaster (5f, heavy, 33/1) on debut 25 days ago, ridden halfway and soon beaten. This should reveal more.

Form: 6

Bellestarr⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: Craig Lidster

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, weakening from halfway. More needed.

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 16 days ago. Needs to step up to figure even at this level.

Foaled March 7. €40,000 foal, Mehmas filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 6f Wasntexpectingthat and 1m winner Itsakindamagic. Dam unraced. Wouldn't need to be anything out the ordinary to figure on debut.

Patasola⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

3/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) 5 days ago, weakening under 2f out. Still, not ruled out for each-way purposes.

Form: 548

Chicabiddy^b1⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

66/1

Travel Candy²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: F Norton| T: Kevin Coleman

6/5

Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Naas (5f, good) 25 days ago. Will find this much less demanding and she's an interesting runner from handy draw.

Form: 76

Forecasts

Travel Candy (6/5), Patasola (3/1), Lady Of The Garr (5/1), Mist Of Lir (11/1), Bargain Basement (14/1), Lastingham (14/1), Bellestarr (25/1), Naval Flight (50/1), Chicabiddy (66/1)

Irish raider TRAVEL CANDY will find this much less demanding than her assignment in a Naas maiden 25 days ago and, from a handy draw, gets the nod to capitalise on the marked drop in grade. Newcomer Lady of The Garr wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure and she's worth monitoring in the betting. Patasola completes the shortlist.
