Good early racing today at Compiegne although the ground is likely to be very soft. In the 10.51 I like the look of Mister Sun, who was third when last seen in January at Pau over hurdles. He was not beaten far that day and should be fit to go after a four month absence. He is around 9/4 at the moment.

Malaisie, who will go off as favourite in the 11.55, ran well when second over fences last time at Compiegne in a Class 3 race and has a leading chance of getting off the mark today. The best race of the day is a Listed hurdle at 1.12, with a strong line up. Zarakhan is likely to start as favourite and holds solid claims after scoring at this track in a Class 3 hurdle on April 6th. He has a live danger in Kyrov who was a pleasing second in a Grade 3 hurdle at Auteuil late last month.

More later.
