Races ARO Pau - FRA

Filled a minor prize two runs ago in a hurdle (3700m) at Bordeaux. Repeated the dose last time when second in a hurdle (3300m) at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Ideally placed return to winning form.

Comes here 49 days after a 19 length fourth first-up in a hurdle (3700m) at Bordeaux at just his second racetrack appearance. In the mix.

Gelding by Pastorius out of Valse De Rose. Market watch advised.

Improved on his ninth in a flat race at Moulins two runs back with a 14 length fifth last time out in a hurdle (3300m) at this track. Will thereabouts based on his best efforts.

Scored two back in a hurdle (3700m) at Bordeaux then didn't measure up last time when he finished fourth in a hurdle (3300m) at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a very nice assignment today and can return to form.

Finished a modest sixth in a hurdle (3300m) at this track last start. That came after he took a tumble two runs ago. Confidence looks to be down.

Finished seventh, beaten 16 lengths, in a hurdle (3300m) at this track recently on the back of an inauspicious debut when she lost the rider. Like to see a bit more before supporting.

Second up. Very good off a break in a hurdle (3300m) at this track last time out. Placed second up previously and appears capable of at least doing the same following his latest outing.

Creditable debut back on October 27 and finished second in a hurdle (3500m) at Toulouse at big odds. Since given a short spell. Open to improvement and expected to feature again.

Continues strong form and has hit the frame at all bar one run this campaign. Comes into this after filling third placing over 3300m in a hurdle at this track last time when well in the market. Sure to improve again. Top chance at best.

Four-year-old gelding which has shown little to date in four runs, the latest a well beaten eighth in a hurdle (3300m) at this track. Prefer to see him find something before backing.
