Compiegne, Wednesday, 30 November: Top-class steeplechase racing is on offer today in Compiegne, where two Listed and Group 3 races are on the programme. In the Grande Course de Haies de Compiegne (race 6/14.47/120,000 Euro/3600 m) Cabot Cliffs (Clement Lefebvre) from the stable of Christian Freiherr von der Recke will try to build on his strong form. He recently won a `Classe 3` hurdle race in Le Touquet, and before that the five-year-old finished third in Merano. His main opponents include Goa Lil (Felix de Giles) and Master Nonantais (James Reveley), who won here at Listed level. Porto Pollo (Bertrand Lestrade) embodies better class but carries maximum weight.
