KIND OF MIX (1) was returning from a layoff last start when he failed to complete the course in a hurdle (3400m) at Lyon-Parilly. Tough to beat if he gets it right. KASKAD NOE (5) made his debut in a hurdle over 3700m at Le Lion-d'angers nearly four weeks ago, finishing fourth and beaten 10 lengths at $6.60. Same rider Thomas Beaurain aboard. Likely prospect who can take this out. VIADEIPISPINI (6) returned from a spell last start and was on debut over the jumps. Could only manage sixth on that occasion, beaten 24 lengths, in a hurdle (3400m) at Lyon-Parilly. Prior to that run the four-year-old had moved to the Giada Menato yard. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
