Formscan - ZAKY (4) has solid form of late, he won at Dieppe in August and ran well when third in a Class 2 chase and more recently fifth in a Grade 3 chase at Auteuil. He should be too smart for these. RATE (5) is a threat having faired well when second last time in mid-April over hurdles, which came after three second-placed runs over fences. GIPSY DE CHOISEL (3) looks like the one to go with from an each-way perspective. CHOUAN (2) makes up the shortlist.
