Race Overview
In an open handicap chase, it may pay to side with HUPECA DE THAIX (12) who was a good second recently at this track in mid-December and is racing off an attractive handicap rating. DOCTOR KALEO (4) could be the main threat. He was second at this track last month and is a course winner over hurdles in 2023 and a Listed chase winner at Auteuil. CALIGRAMME (2) is dangerous to ignore and can feature. ECOUTE EN TETE (5) is also one to pay attention to.
