Race Overview
KENZORIKO (3) could be the answer to this tricky handicap chase. He was a pleasing third two runs back at Pau in early January and is versatile trip wise. HACHASSON (2) won on his latest run in a Class 2 chase at Corlay in July last year and if fit, he is the main danger. GRAINE DE BEAUTE (7) is usually on the premises and can once again give a good account of herself. LADY COEUR (5) makes up the shortlist.
Selection:
3 - 2 - 7
