Aix Les Bains Race 2 - Du Nivolet Claming Chase
DIVILSKIN (2) placed second on two of his three starts in France including when losing out by 1L over 4300m at Le Pin-au-Haras. Taken to go one better. KING OF FRANCS (1) pulled up competing in a 3800m handicap hurdle at Dieppe. Leading contender on his earlier steeplechase form. DJEMBE DAVIS (4) registered a 13L fourth to a subsequent winner contesting a 4200m handicap event held on very heavy going at Strasbourg. Strong prospects. MAKE SENSE (6) registered three consecutive top three finishes in claiming steeplechases prior to finishing 27L fourth attempting a 3700m claiming hurdle at Sable-sur-Sarthe. One to note.

Last run pulled up at Dieppe on June 18 over 3800m. The start before that; made ground from midfield; finished sixth of 12 starters at Auteuil on April 19 over 3700m, slow track; 14 len behind Boom Boom Ciao carrying 67.5kg at $4.50. Forgive that run and he is among the better hopes.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up finished fourth in a small field at Le Pin Du Haras on May 3 over 4300m, 4.5 len behind Nomade carrying 66kg. Second run from a spell made some head-way from midfield; finished second in a small field at Le Pin Du Haras on May 24 over 4300m, on slow going 1.0 len behind Lady Raffles carrying 70kg. Fitter now and making headway every start. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.

Last start came from midfield; finished sixth of 7 starters at Le Dorat on June 14 over 4800m, 17 len behind Manneken King with 63kg. Run before lost his rider at Dieppe on June 10 over 3900m. Has been racing well. Better than that and deserves another chance.

Comes off a 53 day let-up. Last run made some head-way from midfield; finished fourth of 12 starters at Strasbourg on May 8 over 4200m, 13 len behind Mister Alex with 63kg at $13. Start before made some head-way from midfield; finished fifth of 9 runners at Auteuil on April 13 over 3700m, on slow going 19 len behind Karnaval Point carrying 66kg at $22. Only needs to jump well to be right in the finish.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, finished sixth of 8 starters at Strasbourg on June 16 over 3600m, slow track; 56 len behind Mr Diafoirus with 64kg at $88. Should be improved but place prospects appear best.
