Form Snapshot: Unplaced last time, a win before that over 3600m at Argentan on March 6th in a handicap hurdle. Faces stiff opposition and can be overlooked

Form Snapshot: Four unplaced runs of late, the latter when 5th in a handicap hurdle at Le Lion D'Angers on May 7th over 3700m. Unlikely to trouble the main protagonists

Form Snapshot: Three unplaced runs recently, 6th on the latter over 3600m at this track in a handicap hurdle on April 13th. Merits consideration

Form Snapshot: Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 3700m at Le Lion D'Angers in a Class 4 hurdle on April 5th. Handicap bow and can be avoided
Form Snapshot: Placed 3rd on the latest start over 3600m in a Class 3 hurdle at this track on April 25th. More required against some tough rivals
Form Snapshot: Placed 3rd on the most recent start over 3600m in a Class 3 hurdle at Strasbourg on April 18th. Among the leading each way chances
Verdict
EMSILORD (8) was a pleasing third in a strong Listed handicap hurdle over the course and distance last time out in early April. He looks reasonably well handicapped and can get off the mark. LE VIOLONISTE (3) is one to pay attention to on her handicap debut after two decent second place runs, the latest at Compiegne 12 days ago. EH MAN (10) is seeking a hat-trick and should give another good account of himself. BUONSOLE (4) is also worth considering on his handicap bow.
