Deauville Race 5 - Prix Du Chateau De Fontaine Henri Claiming Stakes - Awt

Churchill gelding GRECIAN STORM (2) recorded a 3.75L fourth trying 1800m in a conditions event at Aix-les-Bains. Selected to return to winning ways switching to the AW. LAVENDIN (1) returned from a break with a 0.5L second over 1800m at Saint-Malo. Expected to deliver a big effort seeking his third win in five course and distance starts. TEARDROP EXPLODES (12) followed up a victory in a 2100m claiming handicap at Longchamp with a 1L third tackling the same track and trip. Shortlist. Myboycharlie gelding MACHETE (9) is another to consider debuting for a new trainer following a 4.75L fourth attempting 2112m at York in the UK.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. Most recently 4th in a small field at Aix-les-Bains on July 14 over 1800m, 4 len behind Kovel with 60kg. The race before that ran second last in a small field in Group 3 class at Milan at Milan on June 2 over 1800m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Best Lightning carrying 58kg at $39.94. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
