RISK OF LOVE (9) returned from a spell last start with a solid third in a steeplechase (3800m) at Nancy with today's rider Kevin Nabet aboard. Can continue the bright start to the campaign. KARL PHILIPPE (3) returns from a spell of five months. Generally goes well when resuming, with three wins and three minor placings from seven first-up runs. Kicked off last prep with a sound third in a hurdle over 4000m at this track. Solid top-three chance. NUMERUS BORGET (5) looking to improve after he was pulled up in a LR hurdle (3900m) at Auteuil on March 8. Looms as a serious contender. HAUT LES COEURS (6) is yet to find the frame in two runs this campaign. Opened with a fifth in a LR hurdle (4300m) at Auteuil then was 17 lengths off the winner in a steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne 26 days ago. Capable of turning things around.
