Back under harness after being sanctioned in a monte Class B over course and distance on 5 December. Is no slouch on a good day but this is not about to be one of them

2nd in a Toulouse Gr.3 before finishing last of 12 in a 2850m Gr.2 here 3 weeks ago. Should not be hastily-judged though, races barefoot this time and can finish in the mix

Made it 5 straight sanctions when faulting in a Class B over track and trip on 23 November. Plainly showed his form though and with application can figure prominently

Set personal best in a Class B over course and distance on 23 November, winning superbly at 38/1. Cousin Matthieu in the bike this time and must be taken more seriously on this occasion

Came close to pulling off his first objective of the winter, running 2nd to GRINDELWALD (5) in a Class B over course and distance on 23 November. Is plainly close to his race though and will be no easy touch

Pleasant 6th of 11 behind GRECO BELLO (9) in a Class A over course and distance on 18 November. Stars are liming up for him here and victory may well be in the offing

Race Overview
On paper, this is anyone's race but preference nevertheless goes to the well-engaged EUREKA VRIE (11) who put in a good effort on his recent re-entry. He is shod to preference this time, simply excels with Eric Raffin, and could just turn the tables on the consistent GRECO BELLO (9) who finished ahead of him that day. GUIDE MOI FORGAN (8) gave a reassuringly good account late last month and he too can exact revenge on his nemesis, GRINDELWALD (5), who pulled off quite the coup that day.
Selection:
11 - 9 - 8
