August 2024. Include in all bets

7. IDAHO JAMES – Runner up over 1400m at Vichy in a Class 4 claiming handicap on the 31st of

8. BEST SIXTEEN – Failed to finish the course over 1300m at Vittel in a Class 4 limited handicap
on the 2nd of August 2024. Faces an uphill task
9. FRAICHE – No show in 11th position over 1500m at Deauville in a Class 3 divided limited

of August 2024. Winning chance

handicap on the 15th of August 2024. Makes no appeal
Summary: TRIESTE (12) was just touched off last time out when putting in a terrific effort, she can
confirm that run with the apprentice engaged again. TURTLE CHOPE (10) wasn’t far behind the
top pick and they meet on the exact same weight terms so that would indicate that there shouldn’t
be a lot to choose between the two. JOYEUSE DE ROMAY (5) finds herself worse off at the weights
with reopposing rivals who she beat but there is every chance she could confirm the form. IDAHO
JAMES (7) is seldom far off the action and should be involved at the finish.
