It’s time for jumpers this Saturday at Lyon-Parilly where the Autumn Hurdle Race is the major event of the meeting. This 4,000 meter handicap is coveted by thirteen aged horses. Among them, Manchego (602), who has just shown his form in steeplechase. For his return to the brooms, he will benefit from four pounds of relief (Charlotte Prichard) and seeing him double the bet would not be surprising. To counter it, we can think of King K’alin (609), who will have the confidence of Marcel Rolland, or Happy Harry (605), noticed in more formal society and this time equipped with a pair of blinders. An artifice that will carry Debelair Chorale (603), who has the necessary quality to shine in such society, but has hardly been convincing during his last outings. For this reason, Gaby Leenders decided to change jockey and entrust him to Felix de Giles with the hope that this would allow his rider to return to good results.
Feu de Dieu aims for a first success
Just before the Prix Jean Boulard will be contested, an interesting class 2 in which Fire of God (501) can emerge victorious. Placing second on this track on the day of his return, without being able to relax, he should not take long to open his list of achievements.
