Lignieres Race 1 - Haras Du Lion Cross Country Chase
Course and distance winner HEMEVOICI (6) recorded a seventh career success going 5L clear in a 4100m class two cross-country event at Pau during January. Runs for a leading trainer operating in good form. Leading player. JACK LUX (3) holds a consistent cross-country record. Was 12L third in this level tackling 5000m at Pau two months ago where the second has won since to boost the form. Rates the main danger. BENOU (2) is on cross-country debut following poor chase results. Last April delivered a solid fourth in the G3 Prix du President de La Republique Handicap Chase. Holds ability to go well. KLITCHKO DE BELAIR (1) won the 5400m Listed Grand Steeple-Chase-Cross-Country de Compiegne two starts back in impressive fashion. Not dismissed.
