Eden Conti (8 – K. Dubourg) should logically have many takers in this Quinté+. Trained by the Lageneste-Macaire tandem, this 8-year-old gelding had a career break from March 2020 to October 2021. And since his return to competition, he has almost never disappointed since he has raced five times for four runners-up and a fall. Efficient over large obstacles, it is therefore looking for its race and can find it here because it seems very correctly placed on the scale of values. “His last releases have been pretty compellingindicating Hector de Lageneste. He is in good shape and no longer has much choice of commitments. All this makes us tempted by this commitment. We hope he can pull out of the game in value 59.”
Follow Me Soldier, defending champion
Follow Me Soldier (4 – L. Philipperon) can however stand in his way, being none other than the title holder. He likes the Putois route and remains on a victory here. Now it’s up to him to defend his property. Filup (13 – J. Charron) also holds a first chance. This protege of Sylvain Dehez fell on the river a week ago in the Prix du President de la République, but he seems capable of setting the record straight. “He comes in close, but didn’t have a hard race in the Prix du Président de la Républiquesays Sylvain Dehez. Falling one lap from the finish, he was quickly caught and did not shout at liberty. The distance and course of the day will be at his convenience. So I hope to see him reconnect with the course of his good results.”
Back in steeplechase, Genesis As (11 – F. Bayle) and Greater Clermont (7 – V. Morin) should be sharper than in their most recent outings on the broomsticks. Although loaded, Give the Change (1 – B. Dubourg) has titles that plead in its favour. Dependent on fitness training, Portivy (9 – R. Julliot) has the profile to play the spoilsport. At last, Beryl Baie (15 – A. Gautron) will be on the lookout for the slightest failure of competitors in sight to grab a place.
