Oystermouth gets the confident vote in this maiden with Tarkamara and Gimme Some Lovin rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Mr Fortwright on her debut and given nominal improvement she will be hard to beat. Tarkamara rates the main danger on her latest second behind Sugar Land but she is more exposed than the selection and is opposed on that basis. Gimme Some Lovin ran with promise on her debut but did not progress last time. However she could improve for the fitting of a first-time tongue-tie. Of the remainder Tumbelini is from a yard in form but her overall profile leaves her with a little to find and for the winner we return to Oystermouth who looks sure to improve.
