Looking at the racing today in France. At Auteuil, where the going will be very soft, some strong Graded races over hurdles and fences. The racing has an early start at 10.20 am, the first race could go the way of the likely favourite Choeur De Grive, who was not quite up to Grade 2 class last time and will be more suited to today’s race. This is a step down in class, and a previous win in October at this track was in a Class 2 hurdle, was a decent effort.

La Delirante 12.40 has strong credentials in the Grade 3 hurdle, she is a winner at this venue previously and was a pleasing second on her latest start, when beating one of today’s rivals Clarte Du Sourire into third that day at this racecourse in mid-November.

At Huntingdon in the UK, I thought Djelo could win again in the race he won last year the Sky Bet Peterborough Chase (Grade 2) at 3.00pm. He acts well on a right-handed track and won on his seasonal return in early November.

More soon.
