Auteuil Race 2 - Prix Robert De Lipowski Hurdle
NELSON DU SEUIL (4) debuted over hurdles with a 15L third contesting a 3600m newcomers event at this circuit. Selected to break through for the first win. Unraced Walk In The Park colt BACK IN A FLASH (7) is out of a mare who placed in Listed company in Ireland. Expected to deliver a big effort on debut. NOUVEAUTHAIX ALLEN (3) recorded his best effort in two starts to date in placing 5L second over 3500m at this venue. Strong prospects. SAINT SAVIN (1) recorded a 9L third in the 3500m G3 Prix Arguado here in May. Claims of breaking through for his first win despite disappointing at Compiegne on his return to action.

First race starter by Walk In The Park out of The West Awaits. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.
