Formscan By Tom Weekes - State Man won the 2022 renewal of this race and his stablemate LAURETS D’ESTRUVAL can win today, having run nicely here during Christmas. Runner-up in a smart Pau hurdle on his debut in December 2024, he finished second to useful Starting Fifteen in December, with that horse having previously chased home promising Talk The Talk. The selection is well suited to heavy ground. Winning point-to-pointer Speculateur has also been running well on testing ground and should give the selection a race. Premier Rouge was put in his place by smart rivals recently while Bergamasquo disappointed at Naas last month.
