Race Overview
LEON DU BERLAIS (2) could be the answer to this competitive Grade 3 hurdle. He won well in a Grade 3 hurdle three starts ago and is marginally preferred to PISTACHE DORE (1) is improving and looks like the main danger after scoring in the Prix Alain Du Bresil (Grade 1 ) last time. KINGLAND (3) was second in that race and meets on the same terms, but he can be competitive. LOSANGE VERT BLEU (6) heads the remainder.
Selection:
2 - 1 - 3
