Returns from a 542-day spell. Finished off last prep with his first jumps success, taking in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil, scoring by 2 lengths. Best form puts him right in this.

Has failed to make an impact recently, last time out beaten 77 lengths when 12th over 3700m in a hurdle at Le Lion-d'angers. Happy enough to avoid.

Returns from a 139-day spell. Generally goes well when fresh, with four placings from six attempts. Kicked off last prep with a sound third in a hurdle (3800m) at this track. Can return in winning form.

Finished fifth two runs ago in a steeplechase (4200m) at this track then could only manage fifth most recently in a steeplechase (4200m) at Nancy. Will thereabouts.

Was disappointing first up last start in a hurdle (3800m) at Lyon-Parilly on October 30. Hard to beat on his best form. Can atone.

Less than impressive this prep. Two runs ago when resuming. Finished eighth at the latest appearance in a steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne, beaten 39 lengths. Can bounce back.

Has been well below his best for a long time now and hasn't won in more than a year. Hard to make a case for here on poor recent form.

Returned from a 751-day layoff last start and finished 10 lengths back in tenth on the flat at Nancy over 3000m. Back to jumping and can feature with improvement on fresh run.
