Comment: Although a maiden, he has made an impact on a few occasions; went close when second in a Group 3 (mixed, very soft) at Lyon-Parilly in September; failed to get round when last seen; should go close coming from this stable in this type of event.

Comment: All wins on left-handed tracks; solid run when fifth over 7f at ParisLongchamp (handicap) from an unhelpful draw two weeks ago; latest effort was encouraging so in the mix.

Comment: Needs to improve on balance of recent form and not made much of an impact recently in handicaps; towards the rear of 15 in August at Clairefontaine (now lower in the weights); makes debut for yard; returns from a layoff; could be an uphill struggle.

Comment: Finished towards the rear of 14 over 7f at ParisLongchamp (handicap) off higher mark last month; recent form hardly the most inspiring; meeting some horses in good form and there are better alternatives here.

Verdict: HUSHUA DES OBEAUX is a strong fancy. She is unexposed in this discipline and Nicolas Devilder-trained runners always warrant respect, while Prince Anjou, Jibson and Niko Has should also be considered.
