Eased out of the race two starts back. Finished fourth last time, beaten 3.5 lengths, in a steeplechase (4200m) at Toulouse. All set for a return to form.

Did a good job to finish second two back in a steeplechase (3800m) at Moulins but could only manage 12th in a steeplechase (3900m) at Dieppe last time, arriving 66 lengths behind the winner. Sure to prove harder to beat this time.

Progressing well on the flat at present. Missed the frame the start before last then was far more impressive last time when he won with a neck to spare at Limoges over 2100m. Certainly worth including back over the jumps.

Was unplaced when fresh from a spell two back in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil. Turned things around last time to grab third in a hurdle (3800m) at Dieppe, beaten 16 lengths. Can return to winning ways.

Hasn't raced since finishing 8 lengths away in seventh in a hurdle (3800m) at Nancy four months ago. Has ability and looks a danger.

Saluted in a hurdle (3800m) at Wissembourg two starts ago then performed poorly when beaten 11 lengths into sixth in a hurdle (3800m) at Nancy last time. Use the win two back as a guide to her chances.

Yet to strike a blow after two runs this prep. Fell last time out in a steeplechase (4200m) at Strasbourg on the back of a first-up fifth in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wissembourg. Hard to fault on his best form.

Failed to clock-in for the second run in succession at the last outing four weeks ago in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wissembourg when he lost the rider. Big task ahead.

Six-year-old mare who is back from a break. Wound up last campaign with a tenth on the flat. This class tougher and others rate better.

Returns after a lay-off of three months. Last appeared when sixth in a 3800m hurdle at Wissembourg. Holds ability to play a role in the finish.

Sent out at long odds in a hurdle (3600m) at Strasbourg last time when eased out of the race. Hard to recommend this time.
