KOUDOU (2) pulled up in the 4400m Listed Prix Saint-Sauveur handicap steeplechase at Auteuil. Bold show expected on his return to cross-country racing. Tirwanako gelding ILBAO (4) returned to winning ways in securing a 3.5L success contesting a 4600m event at Cluny. Of note stepping up in distance.

Impressive in recent runs. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed to post a big 3.5 len win. Cluny on April 25 over 4600m on rain affected going defeating Kazador De Kerser carrying 67kg in a jumps. Start before made some head-way from midfield; finished second in a small field at this track on March 15 over 4500m, 2.5 len behind Etonnant with 68kg at $3.70. Good signs last start and is among the better hopes.

Last run lost his rider at Compiegne on May 28 over 4700m. The start before that; finished fourth in a small field at Le Pin Du Haras on May 3 over 4600m, 9 len behind St Regis Olivier with 73kg. Have to take on trust here and prepared to risk this time.
