La Teste De Buch Race 8 - Alain Grimaux Hurdle
SPLIT (2) scored on debut by 2.5L attempting a 3550m Chateaubriant hurdle. Leading contender representing prominent connections. MISTIK D'ENGILBERT (1) followed a debutante success with a creditable 12L fifth tackling 3200m at Compiegne. Main danger. LA PETITE (4) shaped progressively switching to hurdles registering a 1L victory over 3500m at Royan La Palmyre. Warrants serious consideration. BRULON DE MIX (3) cannot be discounted.

Encouraging debut won by 2.5 len Chateaubriant on May 12 over 3550m on rain affected going defeating Superkap with 68kg at $6.30 in a hurdle. Chance to go for two from two. Can only be improved on that run and looks a key chance.

Having third race start. At debut, finished fourth in a small field at Bordeaux on May 5 over 3300m, slow track; 6 len behind Lewis Grey with 67kg at $5.80.

Racing second-up. First race start finished seventh of 8 runners at Lyon-Parilly on March 17 2024 over 900m, slow track; 7 len behind Cylenechope carrying 56.5kg at $2.60. Returned from break won by 1.0 len Royan La Palmyre on May 8 over 3500m slow going defeating Petrus De Houelle with 65kg in a hurdle. Fitter for run. Right in the mix again.
