Bearin Up¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| D

13/2

Career best when winning 7-runner nursery at Ripon (8f, good, 15/2) 18 days ago, asserting close home. Looked very well suited by the step up in trip and that ought not to prove her limit.

Parisian Scholar⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Johnston| OR: 64| D

5/4

Improving son of Study of Man who got off the mark at Musselburgh (1m) in September and further step forward when a wide-margin winner of an 8-runner nursery at Newcastle (1m) 6 days ago, making all. Ought to take some stopping in hat-trick bid under a penalty on that evidence.

Blooming Legend¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 69| D

6/1

Won twice in maiden/handicap company during the summer and remained in good heart, finishing second of 6 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f, 4/1) 12 days ago, no match for winner. Highly likely she'll give her running again.

Assaranca¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 67

11/1

Ghaiyyath filly who finished placed in handicaps at Newbury/Sandown and probably best not judged too harshly on her 11 lengths last of 7 to Bearin Up in nursery at Ripon (8f, good) 18 days ago, seeming unsuited by the track. Better showing anticipated.

Cotton Bud¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: D Egan| T: K P De Foy| OR: 67

16/1

Cloth of Stars filly who has improved with each run to date, fourth of 8 in novice on qualifying run at Southwell (7.1f) 16 days ago. Step back up to 1m promises to bring about further progress now handicapping and she's one to consider.

Form: 544

Domination²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: C G Cox| OR: 66

4/1

Son of Dark Angel who was gelded on the back of first 2 starts and he ran to a similar level when seventh of 13 in novice (50/1) at Newbury (7f, soft) 25 days ago. Pedigree certainly offers hope he can improve now handicapping and he's one to note for very good yard.

Vintage Heat¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 65

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 8 in nursery (10/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 11 days ago, clear of rest. This looks a tougher ask but he's steadily going the right way.

Form: 06632

Sara La Belle⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Laura Pearson| T: James Owen| OR: 64

25/1

Coulsty filly who didn't offer much in handful of starts for Ado McGuinness, hooded for 1st time when last of 9 in nursery at Killarney (8.1f, good) 54 days ago. Joined new yard adept at improving similar types but others appeal more on this occasion.

Form: 88049

Paroled^p¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: Jack Jones| OR: 63

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 8 in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/2) 11 days ago, taking that place final 50 yds. Unlikely we've seen all he has to offer, although he does need to cut out the slow starts.

Forecasts

Parisian Scholar (5/4), Domination (4/1), Blooming Legend (6/1), Bearin Up (13/2), Aleen (10/1), Assaranca (11/1), Cotton Bud (16/1), Vintage Heat (16/1), Sara La Belle (25/1), Paroled (33/1)

PARISIAN SCHOLAR followed up his breakthrough Musselburgh victory with an impressive wide-margin success at Newcastle 6 days ago, that despite not looking entirely the finished article, and he makes plenty of appeal in his hat-trick bid under a penalty. Ripon scorer Bearin Up clearly benefited from the step up to this trip and she's feared. Cotton Bud and Domination are a couple of nursery debutantes that also make appeal.
