Race Overview
KLITCHKO DE BELAIR (1) was a good second last time over 4400m in a Grade 3 chase at this track in December last year. He goes well fresh and should be fit enough to get off to a winning start this year. BON CONSEIL (6) has been absent since April 2023 but is a useful gelding and with fitness taken on trust he could be the main threat. JEUNE COKO (4) should have fitness issues and looks like the solid each-way option. ISALINE DE CHANDOU (7) heads the remainder.
