Race Overview
FOLLY FOOT (5) has been in good form with three solid-placed runs of late, the latest when second at this track in a Listed hurdle on October 19th. ALERIC (4) could be the biggest threat after a decent second at Angers last time earlier this month. JOUR POLAIRE (3) has a nice racing weight and can make the top three. HIPSTER PARADISE (2) was fourth over fences two starts ago and will have no issues with the return to hurdles.
Selection:
5 - 4 - 3
