Race Overview
Sparingly raced KASSUS BLUE (10) blotted his copybook in 3 appearances last year but showed enough during 2023 to suggest that he should be winning a race of this nature, especially given the potential for improvement in this shoeing configuration. KOLONEL MACKER (8) fits a similar profile and is another genuine candidate for success after a much-needed comeback outing. KIR DE KACY (5) and KLAXON DE REVILLE (3) aren't underestimated, while versatile KANSAS LEMAN (7) isn't taken lightly either after a pleasing performance under the saddle last month .

10 - 8 - 5
