Race Overview
JUMPER BAIE (2) was a good fourth at Auteuil two runs ago in a handicap hurdle in late June and if emulating that run he can score from HOPPEFULL HAS (1) who is better than his recent form. He was a pleasing second in a Class 1 hurdle at Auteuil in late March and is best judged on that performance. AYETH (3) is one for the each-way backers to latch on to. JUST A GIGOLO (6) heads the remainder.
