Was Ran in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil last time but was pulled up. Worth another chance and will prove hard to beat.

Scored in a steeplechase (4400m) at Fontainebleau two runs ago then did a fair job last time, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth in a steeplechase (4000m) at this track. Certainly worth another chance.

Disappointing when sixth last start in a steeplechase (3600m) at Fontainebleau after finishing second at Durtal two starts back. Can measure up on best form.

Finished third and never threatened last start in a steeplechase (4000m) at this track when beaten 11 lengths. Looks to be on the up and can take the next step.

Disappointing when sixth last start in a steeplechase (4400m) at Fontainebleau after finishing second at Saumur two starts back. Should be in this for a long way.

Unplaced in two appearances this preparation, both over the jumps. Finished fourth when fresh from a spell then was 12 lengths away in sixth more recently in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil. Certainly worth including.

Scored two starts back in a steeplechase (3800m) at Moulins then was not disgraced over 3700m in a steeplechase (3700m) at Craon. Winning chance.

Below best form in three starts this campaign. Likely to find this too tough without big improvement.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4300m) at Auteuil. Found the frame last start in a much better performance in a steeplechase (4450m) at Mont-de-Marsan, beaten half a length. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.

Seven-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Finished off last campaign when sixth in a steeplechase (3850m) at Craon. Would need to be on best behaviour to threaten.

Back to something like his best with a solid third in a steeplechase (4300m) at Nantes last start. That came after he failed to complete the course two runs ago. Not sure the good recent run will stack up this time.

Impressive winner in a steeplechase (3600m) at Lignieres two back then wasn't a factor when fifth more recently in a steeplechase (4200m) at Moulins. Must be given another chance - will take some stopping.

Found Kirsch Pepper way too good last start in a hurdle (3900m) at Nantes, finishing 6 lengths behind that dominant winner. Another big run is on the cards.

Pulled up two starts back. Backs up just seven days after she turned things around and scored in a hurdle (3800m) at this track by 4 lengths. Big task ahead.

Was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (4500m) at Lignieres then again missed out in a steeplechase (4200m) at Meslay-du-Maine last start. Big task ahead.
