Bold effort to win last start in a chase at Dieppe on a heavy surface and form has been improving over recent runs. Has some claims.

At $29.00 was nothing special when 6th last start in a hurdle at Auteuil but competing in a less challenging grade. Maxime Behocaray and Dominique Bressou are an imposing duo. Too much luck needed to come into contention.
