Formscan - IL EST FRANCAIS (4) is hard to oppose. He has been racing in Grade 1 chases recently, a good second in the King George Chase (Grade 1) at Kempton Park (GBR) two starts ago in December, and he acquitted himself well on his last start in March in a Grade 1 chase. He can score from PETIT ANDRE (3), who was fourth in a Class 3 hurdle at this track in March when last seen. GROOM BOY (1) won twice over fences last year and is a capable hurdler who can make the frame. OBIDOS (2) heads the others.
