Le Lion Dangers Race 1 - Le Pontet Hurdle
YES PLEASE (13) raced from off the pace prior to debuting with a 24L sixth in a 3400m event at Compiegne. Selected to break through for his first win. Unraced Telecaster gelding GEEKER (10) is out of a G3 winning mare. Rates a big threat debuting for a good stable. MIKO DE BEAUCHENE (11) looked a likely winner prior to falling at the last competing in a 3500m steeplechase at Montlucon. Strong claims of making amends returning to hurdles. HURRICANE VERNES (1) has placed third in two of his three hurdle race starts including in losing out by 7L over 3600m at Argentan. Of note on his second start of the year.
