Unbeaten JAROUSSKY AA (1) should be too smart for his rivals. A game-winner of a Class 2 chase at Toulouse last month over 3500m, he can follow up from likely main threat MESARIA AA (2) who was second in the Toulouse race and is 1kg better off at the weights today. FINCH HATTON AA (3) has had two spins on the flat since a second-placed effort over fences. He has place claims. JAKSON AA (7) makes up the shortlist.

KRAKAN (2) holds strong claims of scoring again after a cosy success at Compiegne last time in a Class 2 hurdle race in late November. He can win on his chase debut from KORISTE (8) who looks the ideal type to jump fences after two promising hurdle race runs when third on both outings, she can play a lead role. KAMONDO (3) can not be overlooked after some good efforts over hurdles and is one to watch closely. KABBALE (6) is also worth mentioning.

A winner of a Grade 3 chase three runs ago at this track over 5300m in February, YOUTWO GLASS (5) gets the marginal vote in the Class 1 event. The main threat looks likely to be NOBLE DIAMOND (1) who is very honest and will try to make life difficult for the selection. LYON CLERMONT (2) looks like the each-way angle. INVITE DE MARQUE (4) is also one to consider from a place perspective.

SAINT GODEFROY (5) is a course specialist having won here in cross-country races on several occasions. He will be difficult to beat. HIP HOP CONTI (2) won well at this track in a Listed cross-country race last time over 6300m and is rated the chief threat. HARMONIE ROQUE (8) likes this venue and is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. RISKMAN (9) is also worth watching in the betting exchanges as he was a good second last time.

GENESIS AS (1) has been very good at Bordeaux this year and the only real question he has to ask this time is he as good at this track. GALANT CHABA (7) was not disgraced when third last time out and is distance suited so could be a threat. BREXIT (9) will strip fitter off his come back run and could be the surprise package of the race. CALNUTZ (2) is very honest and should be right there at the finish once again.

13:15 Pau (France) (3YO only)

A race where they will be having their debut over hurdles. FEUILLE VERTE (10) catches the eye as the most likely winner and deserves the utmost respect. NEPTUNE DU LUY (1) could be a threat. IT'S WELL (5) was fourth on the flat on debut so has some racing experience. SPES FULLPAST (7) is one of many others that would not be a surprise winner if the money comes for her.

CALIGRAMME (4) is still improving and won nicely on chase debut. That form should set the standard for this race and he can follow up. BESAN D'OR (3) deserves a change of luck having finished runner-up in three of four chases. JUSTICE (1) may have found the distance a bit beyond her last time out and was in good form before that. JUS DE CAROTTE (2) is capable of better after some disappointing last two runs.

JACKSON VILLE (3) will strip fitter from last run and is improving. Could be the right one for the lucky last race. JESUBA (7) knows how to win with three of them in just eight starts and she deserves the utmost respect. LA BRIANTE (5) won well on debut but is returning from a break. JABUSE MACHINE (1) shows promise but is also returning from a lengthy break.
