Formscan - IRISH VOCATION (1) could be the answer to this competitive handicap despite being burdened with top weight. His main threat could be HO LA FOREZ (5) who ran a good race when fourth in a Listed hurdle at this track earlier this month. LA MANIGANCE (3) could be a nice each-way option on the return to hurdles having raced in Graded races over fences of late. SAINT LOUIS BLUES (8) has a nice racing weight and was a pleasing second in a good race last time and is sure to be on the premises.
