Placenet
9/2
A 5-time winner in France (twice in Cross Country events) J'ARRIVE DE L'EST shaped encouragingly starting out for his new yard when chasing home re-opposing Final Orders over C&D in December. It's feasible to think he'll come on for that run and with cheekpieces back on he can reverse placings on these more favourable terms. Final Orders was impressive that day though and commands serious respect. David Cottin pair Placenet and Iceo Madrik are also respected.

About The Selections

Dave Nevison

J'arrive De L'est Caught the eye at this track last time out, and I think this seven-year-old is going to be a major force in these events. An error-free round should be good enough.

Andy Stephens

Escaria Ten Reserves his best for this track and the handicapper has given him a big chance. Worth an each-way dabble at 33-1

Ross Millar

Miralago Is 5lb out of the handicap, but plenty in this look handicapped to their best, or won't appreciate the ground. This test could see him in a new light

Alex Scott

Iceo Madrik Ran a cracker last time considering he jumped left on plenty of occasions. This softer ground is sure to suit and his young jockey has plenty of cross-country experience in France. Each-way play

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Iceo Madrik might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: The forecast decent pace still isn’t likely to sway the advantage towards those usually ridden further back such as is Latenightpass.
Individual Price Hint: Tommie Beau traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 25% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Escaria Ten traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP, 25% or less of Betfair SP twice and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 4 of its last 5 starts.
