Mind Those Steps

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

7/1

Foaled April 12. £40,000 yearling, Pinatubo colt. Half-brother to smart 6f/7f winner Twilight Spinner and 6f winner Twist of Hay. Dam 5f/6f winner. No shortage of speed in his pedigree and interesting if there's confidence behind him in the betting on debut.

Bluestone Lady¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Shane Gray| T: K R Burke

5/2

Phoenix of Spain filly who unseated her jockey twice in preliminaries and ultimately finished well held in a Beverley novice last week. Could leave that in her wake.

Form: 8

(5)

Pageant Girl¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: James Owen

7/1

Speedily-bred filly who was already on the retreat when meeting trouble when seventh of 11 in a Beverley novice 10 days ago. Looks best watched for now.

Form: 7

Thunda Struck

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D Loughnane

10/1

Foaled April 22. €16,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle filly. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs) who stayed 7f. Market can prove a useful guide on debut.

Forecasts

Thai Ginger (2/1), Bluestone Lady (5/2), Navy Light (4/1), Pageant Girl (7/1), Mind Those Steps (7/1), Thunda Struck (10/1), Bettabebougie (40/1)

Those with prior experience don't set the bar at all high so this could be prime for a newcomer. THAI GINGER and Navy Light look likely types on paper and are selected in that order of preference before market clues. Bluestone Lady is another to keep an eye on despite a low-key debut effort.
