Race Overview
APOLLON DU LUY (4) is seeking his first win over fences. He was a solid third in a Grade 3 chase at this track in late March when last seen, and looks like the best option ahead of HACKER DU BERLAIS (1), who is a winner over fences at this track. He won the Prix Congress (Grade 2) chase last November, and if he is back to that sort of form, he has a leading chance. ALTURA (5) won a Class 3 chase last time at this track and can keep on improving. BOTERVIA DU KALON (7) makes up the shortlist.
Selection:
4 - 1 - 5
