Placed at this venue in the past SOBEST (1) followed up a victory at Chateaubriant with a 4.5L second contesting a 3700m handicap hurrdle at Le Lion-d'Angers. Selected to double his career tally. LIEGE ARDENT (2) came home 21L tenth competing in a 3600m handicap hurdle at Auteuil. Major threat tackling a less competitive affair.

Last run finished tenth of 14 starters at Auteuil on May 30 over 3600m, slow track; 21 len behind Pink Perseverance carrying 70.5kg at $20. The start before that; came from midfield; finished sixth of 9 starters at Auteuil on April 13 over 4400m, on slow going 27 len behind Laloi carrying 67kg at $15. Better than that and is a great chance to atone.
