Race Overview
KENTUCKY WOOD (4) has had solid form over fences recently and was second in the Prix Maurice Gillois- Chase (Grade 1) at Auteuil on November 17th two starts ago. Back over the smaller obstacles he should be too smart for his rivals. GAME OF STORM (6) is a Listed winner over hurdles at this track in February and can once again play a lead role. JOST (1) has a bit of class and can be involved at the business end. ITAL CONTI (2) heads the remainder.
