Finished fifth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (3500m) at this track, with today's rider Mathieu Chailloleau piloting. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.

Finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (3400m) at Craon, with today's rider Raphael Mayeur aboard. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.

Returned from a 113-day spell last start and came to grief in a hurdle (3800m) at Angers. Prefer to see again.

Made an impressive start to his career, scoring on debut in a hurdle (3600m) at Argentan. Will be even better for the run and looks a key chance.

Useful four-year-old who was second in a hurdle (3500m) at Moulins on debut. Couldn't back that up when fifth in a hurdle (3500m) at Auteuil last time, beaten 17 lengths. Well-placed to discover winning ways.

Consistent four-year-old gelding who has won one of his three starts. Last time out was beaten 3 lengths when third in a hurdle (3500m) at this track. Should go well again.

Returns after a break of nine months. Last appeared when he was unplaced, beaten 7 lengths, on his jumps debut in a hurdle (3600m) at Compiegne. That run came after a move to the H Lageneste & G Macaire stable.

Finished a modest fourth in a hurdle (3500m) at this track last start. That came after he pulled up two runs ago. Won't find this easy.

Was well in commission and turned in a nice effort last time out when she finished runner-up on her jumps debut in a hurdle (3500m) at this track. That run came after a switch to the Mickael Seror yard. The testing material.

Returns after a break of eight months. Last appeared when he finished out of the placings, beaten 8 lengths, on his jumps debut in a hurdle (3600m) at Compiegne. That run came after a move to the E D' Andigne stable. Will be tough to stop.

Was at long odds last time in a hurdle (3500m) at this track but failed to finish. Isn’t among the top hopes.

Ran in a steeplechase (3800m) at Moulins last start and was pulled up. Unlikely to feature.

Continued a run of poor form when fifth last start in a hurdle (3800m) at Saint Brieuc. Likely to find this too tough.
