Nancy Race 1 - Jean Prouve Hurdle
KARTHAGE (1) registered a 13L fifth in the G2 Prix La Barka over 3900m at Auteuil. Expected to prove hard to beat dropping markedly in grade. WURFGEIST (7) rates a major threat debuting over hurdles and for a new trainer on his first start since recording a 7L seventh in a 2400m handicap at Cologne in August last year. OPEN TO QUESTION (4) won twice in hurdle races in Ireland. Shortlisted following a 6.25L third over 1900m at Mannheim on his debut for current connections. SAINT TURGEON (2) pulled up in a 3500m hurdle at Pau in January on his return from a lengthy absence. Dangerous on the form he demonstrated in the past.

Third-up today. Resuming tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily finished fifth of 9 starters at Fontainebleau on February 26 over 3850m, slow track; 13 len behind Fidele Au Poste carrying 70kg at $4.80. Second run from a spell finished eighth of 9 runners at Lyon-Parilly on March 15 over 4100m, 47 len behind Bubble Pretty with 69kg at $15. Rates well. Certainly worth including.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after five months made ground from midfield; finished fifth of 7 starters at Montlucon-Neris on March 22 over 3500m, 7 len behind Fortuna with 66kg. Previously second-up ran last at Cagnes-sur-Mer on December 14 2023 over 3300m, 28 len behind Sierra Negra with 65kg at $16. Rates well on best and can sneak into the finish with the right run.
