Was most recently at the races four months ago. Closed the last campaign with a win in a steeplechase (4250m) at Argentan, getting home by 9 lengths. Reliable jumper with two wins to his name from five appearances.

Returns from a spell of a year. Only appeared once when last in work and was among the placings in a steeplechase (3600m) at this track. Sure to feature on his best form.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (3900m) at Auteuil. Made amends last time to score in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wissembourg by 6 lengths. All set to continue the strong recent form.

Finished fifth two runs ago in a cross-country (5000m) at Nancy then wound up in sixth most recently in a cross-country (5200m) at this track. Hard to have on recent efforts.

Did well to finish second two back in a steeplechase (4000m) at Cluny but could only manage fifth in a steeplechase (3800m) at Moulins last time, arriving 1.5 lengths behind the winner. Must be a chance.

Finished a modest fifth in a steeplechase (3900m) at Dieppe last start. That came after he failed to complete the course two runs ago. No surprise to see him back in form today.

First-up here. Doesn't generally fire early on and tends to do his best work deeper into a campaign. Will be improved on the run but shapes as an each way hope in this field.

Racing poorly at present and has finished well back, the latest in a steeplechase (4000m) at Orleans. Happy to risk here.

Safely held in recent outings, the latest in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wissembourg. Hard to have on current form.
