Race Overview
ATHENA DU LUY (9) could be the best option in this event. She was a good third in a Grade 3 hurdle on her latest run at Auteuil last month and if emulating that she can get back in the winner's circle. IMPERIAL MAG (8) will do his best to overturn the selection and is a smart operator on his day. RAF TAVEL (5) is also worth considering and can not be ruled out of the frame. PARI BREST (4) makes up the shortlist.
Selection:
9 - 8 - 5
