PARISIAN SCHOLAR (1) made good improvement through the grades last autumn when last seen landing a Class 4 at Newcastle by 1. 25L. Runners from this yard often respond well this time of year and will appreciate the increased distance. Tentative selection in a tight race. HELGA (2) recorded a maiden victory here on just the second start last time. Proven with the journey and there is scope for doing better. ONLY IN MANILA (4) landed a similar contest by a short-head attempting latest. Moves into handicaps first time and is another to consider. MOMENT OF LIGHT (5) showed clear promise in three starts as a juvenile. Returns after a gelding operation and with a tongue tie. Interesting.
