Not raced for four months. Closed off last preparation when sixth in a G1 steeplechase (5500m) at Auteuil, beaten 34 lengths. Bold showing expected while fresh.

Returns after a break for a new stable. Resuming in a tricky race.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a LR steeplechase (4700m) at Pau. Did a better job last time when he scored in a steeplechase (3800m) at Angers. Likely to figure once more.

Returns after 13 months in the spelling yard. Opened the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3700m) at Auteuil, beaten 7 lengths. Overall first-up record reads well, with a win and two placings from three runs.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3972m) at Plumpton, beaten 1.75 lengths. Has since switched to the Mickael Seror stable. Reliable type with four jumps wins to his name.

Made a winning return from a 84-day layoff last time out in a hurdle (3800m) at Fontainebleau partnered by today's rider Felix De Giles. Can feature again after that bright return.

Went for a spell after just three runs last campaign, winding up with a win in a Fontainebleau hurdle three months ago. Looks a contender.

Six-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Wound up last campaign with a fourth in a hurdle (3900m) at Auteuil. Resuming in tougher. Rates a place hope only on run before a spell.

Finished second but no match for the winner last time out in a G3 hurdle (3900m) at Auteuil. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Came to grief in a hurdle (3800m) at Pau as short-priced favourite last time out. Recent run worth forgiving.
