Verdict
HURON BLEU (1) should be ready to go on his return to action, having looked like a smart prospect last season with two wins at this track. The latest success was in a Grade 3 hurdle in May. He can score at the expense of NAVY DU SEUIL (2), who is proven at this track with two wins and looks like he can keep progressing. NOM D'UN CHIEN (5), won easily at this track on debut and looks like a horse to follow judged on that victory. He can have a say in the finsh, as can NARUTO BANBOU (6), who completes the shortlist.
