ZIATA produced a promising first effort and did best of the newcomers in the process when fourth in a 7f Haydock novice 19 days ago and, looking sure to improve, not least now upped to 1m, she makes plenty of appeal. Iceni Queen is another likely improver following her encouraging debut run at Chelmsford, whilst Churchill’s Spirit, Plaid and Glasgow Kiss are a trio of debutantes to note

PLAY SMARTER
PARISIAN SCHOLAR followed up his breakthrough Musselburghvictorywith 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.

MR ALAN normally comes good at this time of year and his Pontefract third behind a brace of 3-y-os last time suggests he’s ready to strike Gamrai has the potential to be better than this mark so has to be feared, with Loughville of some interest down in class.
