Finished fifth the start before last in a G1 steeplechase (4000m) at Pisa. Bounced back last time when he got the cash in a hurdle (3800m) at Strasbourg. Can add to the recent impressive result.

Finished a modest sixth in a hurdle (3822m) at Warwick last start. That came after he eased out of the race two runs back. Big task ahead.

Hasn't fired a shot this time in, the latest beaten 16 lengths in fourth in a steeplechase at Moulins. Appears tested in this line up.

Was unplaced first-up two starts back in a hurdle (3900m) at Auteuil. Improved and found the frame last time in a hurdle (3800m) at Dieppe, beaten 2.5 lengths. Well-placed to take this out.

Well held last start in a hurdle (3900m) at Nantes finishing fourth and beaten 22 lengths. Expected to run well again if performs up latest effort.

Resumes after a break of four months. Finished off last campaign with a fourth in a hurdle (4000m) at Cagnes-sur-Mer, beaten 14 lengths. Has ability and worth including.

Failed to finish at the last two runs of last campaign, the most recent when he pulled up over 3800m at Pau. Faces a tough test.

Did a fine job to score by 6 lengths at his latest appearance in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil. Key runner once again.

Eased out of the race when back after a 564- day spell last start in a hurdle (3900m) at Auteuil. Nicely-placed to make amends.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 41 lengths into tenth in a hurdle (3600m) at Strasbourg. That run was the first for the Renaut & Adda stable. Looks tested in this line-up.

Beaten a long way last time when eighth in a hurdle at Auteuil. Would need to find best to feature.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil. Atoned for that run last time when he grabbed third in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil. Can return to the winner's list.

Finished fifth the start before last in a hurdle (3800m) at this track then could only manage 11th most recently in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Finished a modest ninth in a hurdle (3800m) at this track last start. That came after he failed to complete the course two runs ago. Looking elsewhere.

Resumed in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil last start but failed to finish. Not expected to threaten.

Placed for the first time when resuming in a Fontainebleau hurdle before being beaten 9 lengths in a hurdle at Strasbourg last start. Better than latest and bold showing expected if runs up to effort two back.
