the lightly-raced (3) PAO ENKI showed significant progress on his second start over hurdles at Auteuil and is likely to be even much smarter this time around. He has the potential to make a good hurdler and will benefit from a possible faster pace here as it is often the case. (4) WALLACE BLACKEAGLE was a convincing winner of his first start for Gaby Leenders and should confirm.

A game second in an identical handicap last time out at the venue (2) MA SAONE is still lightly-raced and therefore open to progress.

The well-related (3) OTCHOA ROUGE did not have to dig hard to go off the mark on his re-entry run at the venue. He will be much sharper this time and will prove hard to get passed.

(8) ELEGANTE DU CHENET probably needed the run on re-entry out at the venue and she should strip fitter this time around. She can be slightly preferred to (4) DROIT DE VETO who trounced the field at Le Lion d'Angers on his seasonal bow. A good fifth in a Quinte race last last time out (7) AL ROC is another one to be considered.

(3) CLODIE DES ONGRAIS was a solid winner of her re-entry run over this course and distance one month ago and will be hard to catch this time again. (8) BALTO DE LA TOUCHE was nicely back in action when scoring at Blain on re-turn from a long layoff and is another serious contender. UK raiders (11) DAIM PIERJI and (10) STAR DES PLANCHES must be monitored.
