KIRAKINE (8) missed the frame two back in a steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne. Made amends last time to get the prize by 5 lengths in a LR steeplechase (4400m) at this track. Likely to figure once more. POLO ET MARIE (2) opened the campaign with a respectable third in a steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne then last start kept the ball rolling when second in a G3 steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne 39 days ago. In the mix on current form. MAGUELON (5) last raced when third in a G3 steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne on 22/04/2025, beaten 7 lengths. Partnered again by Kilian Dubourg who is building a great record when aboard. Genuine threat. LOLITA DES MOTTES (9) took a tumble in a G3 steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne two starts back. Made amends last time when she found one better, beaten one length, in a LR steeplechase (3500m) at this track. Must be respected.
