Race Overview
With decent form and a win at Auteuil in the |Autumn, ILIVA DES OBEAUX (4) could be too smart for her rivals. She ran well at this track on her latest start when she was fourth in a handicap hurdle earlier this month. WEST MARTIN (11) was back in fifth in the same race and could be well handicapped. He could be the main threat. ZANHOWE (16) gets in at the foot of the weights and is the each-way angle. BARON ZANZI (1) is at the top of the handicap but warrants respect.

4 - 11 - 16
