ARBRE DE VIE has been running with credit over fences, but his leading trainer has spotted an opening over hurdles and it would be no surprise were he to oblige. Flaxen Flare seems to retain a fair amount of his ability and can go well, while Lachares is a progressive younger horse who warrants respect.
