Pontchateau Race 4 - Prix Des Benevoles - Monte
Represetning a top stable KOBALT APPLE (7) has struggled to complete in driven races since placing 1.25L third at Chartres four starts back. Taken to make a winning mounted race debut with a new shoeing combination tried. KING HAUFOR (4) performed well in recording a fourth place finish racing on grass at Fougeres. Expected to deliver a big effort chasing the third success of his career. KALEDA DE LA COUR (9) won by 0.25L at this track on her penultimate start. Shortlist. KERVIGNAC (5) returned this year with a 23L fourth competing at Class G level at Chartres. Notable contender on his first start at this venue.

Comes here second-up after four weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th over 2700m at Machecoul, beaten 21m by Kilefait in 6yo handicap on March 15. Looking to others in this race.

Good run 6.5L third behind Lagon Du Dezert at this track over 2800m 5-6yo race on March 6. Was disqualified last start on April 5 at Fougeres over 3225m 5-6yo race. Ignore last outing and assess on its third two starts back; Worth another chance.
