Handicap debutant LASKO DES OBEAUX is likely to well positioned in a race devoid of pace and with improvement expected for the switch to a handicap/longer trip, this looks a fair chance for him to get off the mark. He's narrowly preferred to Balboa, who remains well treated, but hasn't won since 2023, while Oakley's Way should go well back down in grade.
