Form Snapshot: Below par last time on June 6 in a Class 1 chase, 2nd previously at Le Lion D'Angers in a Class 1 chase over 4600m on May 14. Looks like the one to beat
2 13:00 Dax (France) 08 Jul 2026
Prix Gerald De Geoffre - Grand Steeple-chase De Dax Chase (Class 1) (5YO plus)
2m 4f 83y Good
Form Snapshot: Recent success over 4200m at La-Roche-Sur-Yon in a Class 4 chase on June 6 on his debut over the larger obstacles. He will improve and warrants respect
Form Snapshot: Won on the most recent outing over 3900m at Clairefontaine in a Class 4 chase on June 24. More needed to score but has to be considered
Form Snapshot: Finished 5th on the last run over 3900m in a handicap chase at Dieppe on June 10, and placed before that on three starts. Might find a few of these too smart
Form Snapshot: Placed 4th on her last three runs, the most recent in a Class 1 chase over 4200m at Toulouse on May 27. Others seem better equipped
Form Snapshot: Two solid placed efforts of late, the latest when 2nd at Moulins over 3800m on June 14 in a Class 3 chase. Ought to be involved in the shake-up
Form Snapshot: Placed 4th on her last three runs, the most recent over 3800m at this track in a Class 4 chase on June 29. Unlikely to trouble the main protagonists
Verdict
KAYO COCO (1) can put a below-par effort behind him and bounce back to winning form. He is taken to get the better of SHANYADAME (6), who ran well when runner-up in a Class 1 chase at Moulins in early June and should make the selection work hard for success. DAZODREAM (2) will be full of confidence after scoring on his chasing debut in June and is open to further improvement. KAKO (3) won at Clairefontaine late last month in a Class 4 chase and heads the remainder.
