Race Overview
BON PRINCE (1) was a cosy winner two starts ago at Lyon Parilly in late October and acquitted himself well when dipping his toe into the water of a Grade 2 chase at Auteuil on his latest outing when he was sixth. He can return to the winner's circle in a less taxing race. GOLIATH DU LUY (4) is probably the main threat and shaped well on his chase debut when he was second at Angers. DO RE MIX (6) is the each-way must and BLACKBIRD (9) makes up the shortlist.
Selection:
1 - 4 - 6
