Form Snapshot: Two unplaced runs this year, 7th on the latter over 3800m at Pau on February 8th in a handicap hurdle. Player
Form Snapshot: Unplaced on the one run last year over 4600m in a Grade 3 chase on January 5th at Cagnes -Sur-Mer. Unlikely to threaten
Form Snapshot: Two unplaced runs since a win over 3800m in a Class 3 chase at Segre on June 14th. Outside place contender
Form Snapshot: Placed 2nd last time over 3150m in a hurdle race at Ludlow (UK) on January 15th. Warrants consideration each-way
Form Snapshot: Fair 3rd last time over 4400m in a Listed chase at Auteuil on October 13th, 2024. Three wins before that. Long absence to deal with but can be involved
Form Snapshot: Finished 5th over 3700m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on November 22nd in a Class 2 hurdle. Hard to recommend
Verdict
KOP DE BOULOGNE (2) can bounce back after a couple of unplaced efforts at Pau this year. He is the tentative selection ahead of ASTALAVISTA (1), who ran well enough when sixth in a Class 2 handicap hurdle in early December at this track. IP UP (5) has her first start on French soli and is worth considering each-way. KEYREINE DU SEUIL (6) has a long absence to overcome, but can be on the premises if fit to go.
