Races ARM Auteuil - FRA

Made a strong return from a 138-day layoff last time out in a LR hurdle (3900m) at this track, finishing third when partnered by today's rider Gabin Meunier. Key runner who is expected to feature again.

Comes here on the back of a last start win in a steeplechase (3850m) at Fontainebleau, bouncing back from a poor run two starts back. Back in form and can measure up again.

Was a little below par when he finished fourth in a steeplechase (3500m) at this track last time out. That run followed a win in a steeplechase (3500m) at this track two starts back. Hard to fault on his best form and must be respected.

In very strong form this time in having missed the frame only once this time in. Comes into this in winning form having scored by 1.5 lengths over 3900m in a hurdle at this track last time when well supported. Looks a strong winning hope.

Ready for another win placing at last three starts, the latest over 3900m at this track when second. Rates well and has been racing consistently without winning. Can work into the finish again.

Yet to land a glove in two runs this time in work. Resumed with a fifth in a LR steeplechase (3800m) at Compiegne then was 34 lengths away in a LR hurdle (3900m) at this track nearly four weeks ago. Big task ahead.

Was unplaced the start before last in a LR hurdle (3900m) at this track then finished fifth most recently in a LR hurdle (3900m) at this track. This looks too tough.

Easily accounted for last start in a G3 steeplechase (4100m) at Compiegne finishing fourth and beaten 34 lengths. Others look to be going better at this stage.

Resumed after a spell last start with a modest fourth in a hurdle (3800m) at Compiegne. Boasts strong second-up stats. Tougher task this time.

Returns after a six months break. Form last preparation was very good, saluting three times. Rates strongly and can return in winning form.

Was unplaced two back in a LR hurdle (4300m) at this track then again missed out in a LR hurdle (3900m) at this track last time. Looking to others.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten a long neck into fourth in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Fitter and will be tough to beat this time.

Has hit the frame at all bar one run this campaign. Comes into this after filling third placing over 3800m in a hurdle at Angers last time. Prefer to watch at this stage. May need more racing.

Solid performances at both starts this campaign, the latest when second in a LR hurdle (3900m) at this track. Has ability and looks a danger to the top few.

Unplaced two starts back in a LR hurdle (3600m) at Compiegne then produced a better result last time when she finished seventh in a steeplechase (3450m) at Compiegne, beaten 14 lengths. Hard to have on recent efforts.

Seven start maiden who finished in the money last time in a much improved second over 3800m in a hurdle at Nancy. Not far from the winner latest but others rate better.

In the money two runs ago in a LR hurdle (3900m) at this track. Repeated the dose more recently when third in a LR hurdle (3900m) at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Hard to fault on his best form.

Ready for another win placing at last three starts, the latest over 3900m at this track when third. Rates highly here and is overdue for a win. Strongly fancied here.

Impressed when she saluted two runs ago in a steeplechase (4500m) at Lignieres. Did a good job to finish second more recently in a steeplechase (4200m) at Toulouse, beaten just 2.5 lengths. Might find this too tough.
