Scored when resuming in a hurdle (3500m) at Moulins two runs ago then didn't back it up when beaten 38 lengths into tenth in a hurdle (3800m) at Pau last start. Use the win two back as a guide to his chances.

Filled a minor placing two runs back in a hurdle (3500m) at Pau. Repeated the dose last time when third in a hurdle (3800m) at Pau, beaten 8 lengths. Looks very hard to beat.

Not raced for three months. Closed off last preparation with a minor placing in a hurdle (3800m) at Angers, beaten half a length. Makes strong appeal.

Returns from a spell of six months. Made just the one appearance last campaign and finished in the minors in a hurdle (3600m) at Cazaubon Barbotan Therme, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has since switched to the Marc Nicolau yard.

Sent out at long odds in a steeplechase (4700m) at Pau last time when eased out of the race. Unlikely to feature.

Returned from a 480- day layoff last start and failed to complete the course in a steeplechase (3900m) at Pau. Ready to return to form.

Five-year-old mare who is back from a break. Finished off last campaign when third in a hurdle (3500m) at Dax. Resuming in tougher. Rates a place hope only on run before a spell.

Finished third and never threatened last start in a hurdle (3800m) at Pau when beaten 34 lengths. Solid latest and rates one of the chances this line-up.

First-up after a year off. Previous first-up placegetter but prepared to see how she has returned here. Happy to risk here.

Pulled up at Pau two starts back then bounced back last time when third (2300m) at Durtal. Among the leading chances.

Mare by Bande out of Gamine De Balme. Watch the market closely as she hails from the in-form François Nicolle yard.

Not setting the world on fire of late. Two runs back finished sixth in a hurdle (3500m) at Pau. Didn't bounce back when she lost the rider last time out in a steeplechase (3700m) at Pau. Looking elsewhere.
