KLOTH OF UTOPIA (6) missed the placings in a hurdle (3319m) at Newbury two back then did a better job to finish third in a G3 hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil last start. Looks very hard to beat. LE PHILOSOPHE (3) was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 14 lengths into sixth in a G2 hurdle (3900m) at Auteuil. That run was the first for the Arnaud Chaille-Chaille & Francois Pamart yard. Sure to be harder to beat this time. KARAM LE ROUGE (5) last raced when second in a steeplechase (3500m) at Auteuil on 15/06/2024, beaten 1.75 lengths. Nicolas Gauffenic gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding and retains the ride. Will be hard to beat. KANDY PARK (2) returns from a 156-day spell. Hasn't raced since he failed to complete the course in a G1 steeplechase (4400m) at Auteuil. More than capable jumper. %200% Very capable and has a good strike-rate over the jumps. Sure to be primed and likely to be thereabouts.
