Race Overview
ANGE PITOU (5) has been second on his last two starts, the latter of those at this track in mid-December in a Class 1 hurdle. He is a course winner over hurdles and fences and he will be expected to give a good account of himself. LOU FAST (1) could be the main danger despite having to concede weight to his rivals. GURZUF (2) was a nose behind LOU FAST (1) when they were third and fourth over track and trip on December 9th and is one to keep safe. KANGO (7) also warrants respect.
Selection:
5 - 1 - 2
