Was Ran in a steeplechase (4400m) at Fontainebleau last time but was pulled up. Worth another chance and he is among the better hopes.

Filled a minor placing last start in a steeplechase (3700m) at Auteuil. That came after success in a steeplechase (4200m) at Strasbourg by 20 lengths. Ideally placed.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4100m) at Angers. Finished second last start in a much better performance in a steeplechase (3800m) at Compiegne, beaten 5 lengths. On his best jumping form is sure to prove hard to beat.

Has been a model of consistency this time in, the latest placing in a steeplechase (3600m) at Fontainebleau. Leading hope in this and can find winning form.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 11 lengths into fifth in a steeplechase (4450m) at Mont-de-Marsan. Looks tested in this line-up.

Hasn't fired a shot in three runs this time in, the latest when fourth in a steeplechase at Mont-de-Marsan. Appeals as an each-way hope on best figures.

Was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (3800m) at Maure-de-Bretagne. Filled a minor prize last start in a much better performance in a steeplechase (4450m) at Mont-de-Marsan, beaten 4.5 lengths. Cannot be written off.

Unplaced two starts ago when resuming in a steeplechase (3800m) at Dax then produced a better result last start when he finished fourth in a cross-country (4200m) at Castera-Verduzan, beaten 5 lengths. Not sure he is up to this.

Yet to strike a blow in two runs this campaign. Resumed with a fifth in a hurdle (3400m) at Lyon-Parilly then was 25 lengths away in a steeplechase (3800m) at Moulins two months ago. In the mix.

Has been plugging away at recent starts, last time finishing fourth steeplechase. Doubt she will play much of a role in this.

Took a tumble two starts back. Bounced back last time and filled a minor placing, beaten 13 lengths, in a hurdle (4100m) at Angers. Hard to have despite the strong recent effort.
