The base :
3 – LORCAN
Son of Reliable Man, Lorcan could dominate the situation in this event. He remains on two podiums at this level and is performing well with H. Lebouc in the saddle. At best and at his value, he should compete for the prize again.
L’Outsider TQQ :
13 – LEV
What do you think of Lev? His current music is not the most encouraging. Now his conditions have improved and Mr. Barzalona is not unassumingly in charge. Below an acceptable value, it could resurface.
1 – SWISS BANK
Resident of O. de Montzey, Swiss Bank is well known in this type of tournament. Winner of two handicaps in quick succession this winter in Pau, he is still competitive despite a high value. He returns to this level after showing limits in a listed race, and A. Gavilan returns to the controls. Good behavior is expected.
15 – BELLE ANSE
Belle Anse is consistent in competition and should once again shine. After a long absence, she has just had a pleasant comeback with a fourth place at this level. Still entrusted to I. Mendizabal, she should play the leading roles.
12 – NIKOLAJ
Son of Zarak, Nikolaj made his last outing in this category his own, on the Bordeaux track. Certainly, his margin has been reduced, but he is in good shape and still associated with F. Véron, for a double that cannot be ruled out.
2 – THE WISE
Wearing the colors of JC Seroul, Le Sage finished just off the podium in his first attempt in the handicaps. He remains on a return to school without much interest in a Class 1 and returns to the category that interests us, with pretensions, at least for the places. Not to neglect.
10 – LEPARD
A student of J. Reynier, Lepard has been on the podium in his last three outings in the handicaps. Winner last April, he confirmed with a third place during his next attempt. Its value is still becoming limited, but an accessit is within its reach.
4 – ANCTOT
Anctot is inconsistent in competition, but should not be forgotten. He has already won two handicaps this year and E. Hardouin is still in the saddle. His last release is not to be taken into account; at the end of a clear course, it has the assets to conclude well.
