Back from a 216-day spell. Concluded last campaign with a win in a hurdle (3800m) at Nancy, scoring by 5 lengths. Has ability and worth including.

Has a handy record over the jumps but was not a factor last time when beaten 7 lengths into sixth in a hurdle (3800m) at Compiegne. Disappointing on that occasion but is a great chance to atone.

Six-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Finished off last campaign when tenth in a hurdle (3800m) at Pau. This class tougher and others rate better.

Followed up a poor run two starts back with a third in a hurdle (3900m) at Nantes last start. Should be thereabouts.

Was unplaced first-up two starts back in a hurdle (3800m) at Fontainebleau. Improved and filled a minor prize last time in a hurdle (3600m) at Senonnes-Pouancé, beaten 3.5 lengths. Hard to fault on his best form.

Finished fifth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (3800m) at Compiegne, with today's rider Thomas Gillet piloting. That run was the first for the Francis Alloncle yard. Can find winning form this time.

Unplaced two starts ago in a steeplechase (3900m) at Morlaix then produced a better result last time when he wound up in fourth in a steeplechase (4300m) at Le Pin Du Haras, beaten 17 lengths. Big task ahead.

Was very good when returning from a 190-day layoff most recently, beaten 2.75 lengths into third in a hurdle (3800m) at Compiegne. Fitter and sure to go well again.

Resumed after a spell last start with a modest fifth in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Key runner who is expected to feature.

Was far too good when resuming from a layoff last start, scoring by 6 lengths in a LR cross-country (6000m) at Fontainebleau. Normally hard to beat with the run under the belt, with three wins and one placings from six second-up runs.

Was solid when resuming in a hurdle (3800m) at Fontainebleau. Had excuses for his fourth but beaten only 3.5 lengths in soft going as favourite. Has to be included on what he showed latest.

Failed to complete the course when returning after a 564- day spell most recently in a hurdle (3900m) at this track. Confidence may have taken a hit.

Missed the frame when she resumed in a hurdle at La Teste De Buch, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths over 3900m. Better for the experience but others have better credentials.
