Race Overview
CESAR KING (9) ran a promising race at Fontainebleau when he was fourth last time and seems to be getting his act together. He can step forward from that run and is preferred to BON PANTALON (11) who made a pleasing debut on the flat at Saint-Brieuc in October and will be well-schooled for this hurdling debut. RICHARD DE CLARE (3) failed to shine last time but was a decent third before that in the Spring at Fontainebleau and can be on the premises. KING OF LIFE (2) is also worth considering.
Selection:
9 - 11 - 3
