Formscan - POULORIUS (5) won well on the flat at Le Mans 7 days ago and looks like the best option in this open handicap hurdle. He won over hurdles at Dieppe in June and is preferred over ESPOIR DE NOEL (10), who was a pleasing second in a handicap chase at Nantes at the start of this month on his only run this year. JOCKO DU LIN (3) has fitness to prove, having been absent since February, but merits consideration each-way. KING OF SAINTLY (4) is a capable operator over hurdles and looks best of the rest.
