Took a fall at his latest appearance in a 3500m steeplechase at Auteuil then went for a break. What happened last time is not ideal so cannot entertain.

Reliable jumper who was unplaced when resuming in a steeplechase (3450m) at this track two starts back. Made amends and won by 8 lengths in a steeplechase (3450m) at this track last start. Major player again.

Did not finish the race the run before last. Bounced back last time when he saluted in a steeplechase (3450m) at this track. Tough to stop again.

Filled a minor placing two runs back in a steeplechase (3450m) at this track. Repeated the dose at the latest outing when third in a steeplechase (3450m) at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Ideally placed return to winning form.

Missed the placings in a steeplechase (3500m) at Auteuil two back then improved to finish second in a steeplechase (3450m) at this track last start. No surprise to see him back in winner's stall.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil. Atoned for that run last time when he scored in a steeplechase (3850m) at Fontainebleau. Not sure the good recent form will stack up this time.

Did well to finish third two back in a hurdle (3600m) at this track but could only manage fourth in a LR hurdle (3600m) at this track last time, arriving 6 lengths behind the winner. Right in the mix.

Produced a good effort to score two runs back in a 3500m steeplechase at Auteuil then came to grief at his latest outing over the obstacles at Auteuil. Capable of turning things around.

Has failed to make an impact recently, last time out beaten 7 lengths when fifth over 3800m in a hurdle at Angers. Not likely to threaten.

Wasn't fancied but returned from a 122-day spell on October 2 with a sound third in a steeplechase (3450m) at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Key runner who is expected to feature again.

Winner of both starts this time in, the latest scoring by 4.5 lengths in a steeplechase (3600m) at Lignieres. Rates highly on recent form and among the hopes if repeats the run.
