1:15 Auteuil Tips

Leopard Du Berlais has been very impressive in winning both his hurdle races at Auteuil: a Grade 3 hurdle in May and a Grade 2 hurdle last month. He should outclass the rest in this Grade 1 hurdle.

Tough Grade 1 where the odds-on favourite looks short, so preference is for Olga De Kiev at a more playable price. She's already a Grade 3 winner over this course and trip, handles heavy ground well, and gets a handy weight allowance from the geldings. Her overall Auteuil record is rock-solid and she arrives in form off a decisive C&D success.

Has been well placed by connections to win three run-of-the-mill juvenile hurdles in his last three runs over the summer months. Though he won them impressively, this is a massive step up in grade. But he was decent on the flat, rated 90, and is on a massive upwards curve over jumps, so could get placed at least here.
