16/1

Twice-raced colt. 9/1, stepped up on debut when fourth of 13 in maiden at Leicester (5f, firm) 20 days ago but the form is only modest.

Form: 64

Gaga Mate

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: Dylan Cunha

9/2

Foaled February 8. €20,000 Mehmas colt. Dam 5f winner who stayed 7f. Needs checking out in the betting for a stable which has had a 2-y-o winner this season.

Homestrait¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

2/1

Runner-up in maiden/novice events over 5f at Beverley (both good to firm). This looks a decent chance for her to go one better.

2/1

16/1, showed a bit when sixth of 10 in maiden at Chester (5.5f, good to soft) on debut 22 days ago. May do better and respected.

Form: 6

The Little Bear¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine

22/1

33/1, beaten over 7 lengths when third of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5f) on debut 18 days ago. Will need to leave that bare form behind.

Forecasts

Homestrait (2/1), Star Marian (2/1), Gaga Mate (9/2), Hanney Girl (7/1), Dandy's Rocket (16/1), No Claims Bonus (16/1), The Little Bear (22/1)

This looks a decent opportunity for HOMESTRAIT to go one better than in her 2 runs at Beverley. Star Marian more than hinted at promise at Chester and might be the one to give the selection most to do unless the betting speaks in the favour of Dylan Cunha newcomer Gaga Mate.
