Parisian Affair^p⁵³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Pandora Briselden⁽⁷⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 55

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Blinkered for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft). Very interesting yard move (left Neil King) and one to note in the market.

Forecasts

Lovely Lou Lou (15/8), Lady Of York (7/2), Jenny Ren (18/5), Genuine Approval (7/1), Compass Point (8/1), King Athelstan (10/1), Valletta Sunset (10/1), Grandscape (12/1), I'm Digby (14/1), Parisian Affair (14/1), Conkering Hero (16/1), Buzz Lightyere (40/1)

LOVELY LOU LOU has run respectably on her last two starts over 2m on polytrack. Down in trip and crucially, in a 0-55 for the first time, she looks the one to beat in a very uncompetitive event. Parisian Affair has made an intriguing yard switch to Roger Charlton and has to be taken seriously if there is any market support after a long absence. Jenny Ren is not out of it, either.
