Argentan Race 3 - Prix De Saint-Loyer Des Champs Hurdle
PAQUISTO (1) suffered a head defeat in debuting with a second over 3600m at this venue in October. Selected to go one better with a hood applied for the first time. Unraced Gris de Gris gelding MICA DE KERZA (6) hails from a stable who get their share of winning newcomers. Strong claims of debuting with a victory. KAVIK (3) performed well in placing 2.5L third in the previously mentioned course contest on his penultimate appearance. Dangerous on the form he showed that day. Lawman gelding NORMANDY MAN (8) demonstrated plenty of ability winning twice from ten starts. Notable contender debuting over hurdles for a top trainer.

Having third race start. First race start came from midfield; finished fifth of 9 starters at Royan La Palmyre on May 8 over 2900m, on slow going 5.5 len behind Akadame with 61kg. Went for a break before returning pulled up at Fontainebleau on February 21 over 3550m. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.
