ROOSTER CROWING (1) fought on well last time and finished just 1.75 lengths away in fourth in a hurdle (4100m) at Auteuil. Best efforts measure up and is a definite winning chance. LUCKY ROQUE (7) finished third two back in a LR hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil then again ran a good race to finish second last time out, beaten 2 lengths, in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil. Must be a chance again. ATYPIQUE D'OROUX (8) lost the rider in a hurdle (3700m) at Le Lion-d'angers two starts back. Made amends last time when she found one better, beaten a nose, in a hurdle (3500m) at Toulouse. Sure to run well again. DARSHAM (4) returned from a spell last start with a solid second in a hurdle (3600m) at La Teste De Buch. Will strip fitter and looms large again.
