      Verdict

      Souri Des Champs, Theatre Diva and La Dame Brune are the three to concentrate on with the firstnamed selected. Guillaume Macaire's cross channel raiders must always be respected and it may be worth taking a chance with this mare who has won three of her nine career starts. One of those came on her second chase start where she scored readily at Bordeaux Le Bouscat. Theatre Diva is the one to beat as she had shown progressive form for her previous connections and brushed aside the opposition on her return from a year's absence to score readily on her chase bow. She will be strongly fancied to follow up. La Dame Brune was a better hurdler but she has been struggling to recapture her form in that sphere so far this term. She must be feared on her chase bow with her yard going well but is hard to put forwards with confidence following some fairly lacklustre displays. An interesting heat where we'll take a chance with Souri Des Champs.
