French form could be valuable here and PRECIOUS MAN (1) has joined a top yard after promising efforts in France including a narrow success attempting a 2m1f three-year-old hurdle at Auteuil on testing ground during May. Top pick. Similar comments can be applied to PARCHMENT (2) who made a winning debut tackling a 2m1f hurdle at Clairefontaine in June. Respect after a break. HALLELUJAH U (4) showed a good level of ability on the flat including a decent third in the July 1m5f G3 Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket. Stable have won the past two renewals of this event. Interesting making hurdle debut. Last month Punchestown hurdle winner SECRET FORCE (10) and hat-trick seeking GALACTIQUE (3) can both be considered.
