JIKITO (9) is a maiden who has been in the placings at his last two runs, the latest offering a second in a steeplechase (3500m) at this track. Best efforts measure up and is a definite winning chance. GREAT PARADE (11) did well to finish second two back in a hurdle (3900m) at this track. Improved to record a win in a hurdle (3900m) at this track 49 days ago, arriving 2 lengths ahead of his rivals. Certainly worth including. IRISH SPORT (4) was unplaced two back in a hurdle (3800m) at Nancy. Filled a minor prize last start in a much better performance in a hurdle (3600m) at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Expecting a bold run. BALMORAL (6) was unplaced two starts back in a hurdle (3800m) at Nancy then produced a better result last time when he finished sixth, beaten 12 lengths, in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Deserves another chance.
