7/4
Improving son of Study Of Man who still looked green when getting off the mark in 8-runner nursery at Musselburgh (8f, good) 25 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. That form is working out well so he's a big player.

Forecasts

Parisian Scholar (7/4), Double Eagle (9/4), Wonderful Friend (4/1), Red Rifle (10/1), Zaina Zarak (12/1), Willowinghurn (14/1), Ebn Sabt (16/1), Lilac Dandy (50/1)

Verdict

A competitive nursery but there was a lot to like about the Musselburgh victory (form been franked) of PARISIAN SCHOLAR and he is taken to make light of a 4 lb weights rise. Willowinghurn also got off the mark at the Edinburgh track and rates the chief threat under a 6 lb penalty, although nursery debutants Double Eagle and Zaina Zarak could also step forward sufficiently to have a say.

  1. Parisian Scholar7/4
  2. Willowinghurn14/1
  3. Double Eagle9/4
