Lyon Parilly Race 5 - Prix Du Mont Ventoux Hurdle
GOLDEN THREAD (3) delivered a 1.25L second to a subsequent winner attempting a 2000m conditions event at Le Lion-d'Angers during July last year. Selected to make a winning hurdling and stable debut. MINISTRE DES BEAUX (5) was a winner on the flat at Craon in June and returned to action with a 7L second contesting a 3500m hurdle at Le Touquet. Expected to play a role in the finish. Pour Moi gelding METALIC (8) held place claims prior to falling at the last tackling a 3500m hurdle at Le Touquet. Strong claims of recording his first win. Hurdling debutant WHI PUMP PUMP (10) is another to consider following a 1700m triumph at Divonne.
