Race Overview
YOUTWO GLASS (1) finished 2nd to IN LOVE (2) in this same race in 2024. He has been kept fresh for this and enjoyed an ideal winning prep-run over hurdles on 11 December. He is the selection to win this coveted Grade 3 Chase. KENTUCKY WOOD (5) was 3rd in a Grade 1 at Auteuil in November and a repeat of this effort would see him to close here. The experienced GOLD TWEET (3) comes in this race fresh and warrants the utmost respect. A Listed Chase winner at this course one year ago, ATHENA DU LUY (11) cannot be dismissed lightly.
Selection:
1 - 5 - 3
