IVOIRE ET OR (3) could reverse the form at Pau in mid-November when she was third in a conditions race over 2000m with ENVY (1) who was second that day and around a head in front of her. The latter of the two will very likely start at much shorter odds and the value could be with the main selection. SAWARIM (2) won the race at Pau and will once again be competitive. The race should be between the three of them.

This can go to the course specialist HIP HOP CONTI (1) who has won all three of his races this year at this track. The latest a Listed event over 6300m in February. He will be ready for this after a break. HELLO DE SIVOLA (4) could be the one that gives the main selection the most to do. IRIDIA (6) is also worth considering despite a mishap last time and is best judged on her penultimate second-placed effort in a Listed event in early March. HERMINE ALLEN (5) heads the rest.

EMID'IO PEPE (2) won nicely over hurdles at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in mid-October when last seen and was a winner on the flat before that in September. He looks to have a bright future and can score from VADOR DU BERLAIS (3) who shaped well when he was third in a Class 2 hurdle at Dieppe when last seen in July. He will be ready for this after an absence. LYLIAN (7) and INEDIT D'AMOUR (6) can also be competitive and involved at the business end.

JAMAILYA AA (4) ran a credible race last time when sixth in early November, and was a good winner of a Class 1 chase at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on October 13th before that. She can gain another success. JAROUSSKY AA (3) will be competitive and looks like the main danger after a decent third at Auteuil behind FENOMENE D'OC AA (2) who won that race and can once again give a good account of himself. ISISDELAGARDE AA (1) is also worth a mention.

EPIC TALE (1) drops back into a claiming race after three credible runs over hurdles and one run on the flat. He won at Auteuil in June over hurdles in a claiming race and is sure to be competitive once again. JOSHUA MOON (10) is a course and distance winner in December 2023 in this class of race and has faired credibly since that success. He will be fit after a spin on the flat on December 7th. FURIOSO (2) and ESPION DE VINDECY (7) both warrants respect and can be involved.

ROYAL ETINCELLE (15) could be the answer from the foot of the weights after a good third-placed effort at Bordeaux Le Boucat in late November on his latest run. MONA LISA (5) is a threat and could be rewarded after some consistent efforts of late, which includes a nice second at this track on December 5th. BORN TO DREAM (6) has leading claims each way after two placed efforts on his last two runs. LADY PINK (7) looks best of the remainder.

KOUDOU (9) showed lots of potential in his two runs on the flat last year. He won on the second of them in August and is the selection on his hurdles debut. KIR FLIGHT (15) has a taking profile and will be well prepared for a bold show on his debut in public. KIMFLY (17) needs to be considered. She is a winner on the flat and will be well-schooled for this debut over hurdles. KALINOU TENNISE (14) is out of a mare that won twice and any market support should be noted.

NOTRE HISTOIRE (7) has been placed second on three of his last four runs, with the most recent at this track over slightly further in late November. He can be rewarded for his honesty and get his fourth win. NANTMOR (1) will do his best to beat the selection again, having got the better of him when they met over further last time. The drop in trip and slightly better weight terms favours the former. MAD WHIP (9) has ambitions each way. MOLINO (10) won here recently and warrants respect.

FLY D'ASPE (10) has dropped in the handicap and was a winner at this venue last year over 1600m. He can get back on track and play a lead role. LOUIS SKI (7) ran a nice race when fourth at this track over 1600m in mid-November and could be the main threat. VALINA (1) looks like one for the each-way backers to latch on to. AGAMEMNON (3) is an honest performer and can once again have a say in proceedings.
