Hokkaido Jiel faces solvable task

Enghien, Wednesday 27 July: The Enghien summer meeting continues today with an eight-race programme. The highlight is the Prix de la Chaussee d`Antin (6th race/19.33h/80,000 Euro/2875m), a yearling comparison between five- and six-year-old horses.

Despite allowance, Hokkaido Jiel (David Thomain) should be able to solve the task. Currently, the Dersoir protégé surprised in the Prix Jean Le Gonidec (Group 2) behind the winning Hohneck. Heliade du Goutier (Gabriele Gelormini), who has been successful twice in Scandinavia, should also be able to overcome her handicap. From the basic brand, Hobbes (Alexandre Abrivard) should make it furthest, even if the `red` form in the Prix de Grasse (Group 3) casts a bad light. Heraut d`Armes (Nicolas Bazire) and Hinden (Franck Nivard) were pleasing in the Prix du Lovure (Group 3) in the places and are conceivable in the betting, as is the in-form Galileo Bello (Benjamin Rochard).
