Guillaume Macaire has just two runners on today’s card and SA CARLEX offers him the best hope of success. James Reveley takes the reins on the three-times winner over hurdles who is almost certainly much better than she showed when a beaten favourite on her chasing bow at Fontainebleau. High King can build on his winning debut over the larger obstacles at Toulouse earlier this month and Bal Express should be winning soon. Gracieuse Mag was a winner over hurdles last year and a recent run at Angers should have blown away the cobwebs but this looks a big ask for Espion De Vindecy.
