Filled a minor prize two runs ago in a Listed hurdle (3600m) at this track. Repeated the dose at the latest outing when third in a steeplechase (4100m) at Compiegne, beaten 5.5 lengths. Ideally placed for a return to winning form.

Last start pulled up in a Listed hurdle (3900m) at this track but failed to finish. Forgive that run and should be right in the mix.

Finished a modest ninth in a Listed hurdle (3900m) at this track last start. That came after he fell two runs ago. Confidence may have taken a hit.

Well beaten in a this track hurdle at very long odds in the wet last time when fifth. Has ability and can sneak a place if finds best.

Unplaced in two appearances this prep, both over the jumps. Finished 12th when first-up then was 13 lengths away in fifth more recently in a Listed hurdle (3900m) at this track. This looks too tough.

Failed to complete the course last start at this track after finishing sixth the run before in a 3600m hurdle at this track. Shapes as a top-three chance if on his best behaviour.

Won first-up in a hurdle (3600m) at Compiegne after failing to show much towards the end of last preparation. Goes up a notch in class but further improved and is among the chances.

Missed the frame two back at this track. Atoned for that run last time to fill a minor placing in a Listed hurdle (3900m) at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Can return to winning ways.

Racing poorly at present and has finished well back, the latest in a steeplechase (4100m) at Saumur. Hard to recommend on current form.

Did not threaten when he finished ninth in a steeplechase (4200m) at Toulouse last time out, following on from a win in a hurdle (3800m) at Pau. Looking elsewhere.

Started favourite last start following a win in a hurdle (3800m) at Saint Brieuc but found a couple better in a hurdle (3800m) at Compiegne. Worth another chance.

Finished seventh two back in a Listed hurdle (3600m) at this track then again missed out in a Listed hurdle (3900m) at this track last start. Hard to have on recent efforts.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (3800m) at Fontainebleau. Found the frame last start in a much better performance in a hurdle (3600m) at Compiegne, beaten 1.75 lengths. Holds claims.

Opened the campaign with a respectable third in a hurdle (3600m) at this track then last start scored in a hurdle (3900m) at this track 21 days ago. Major player again.

Did not finish the race two starts back. Finished tenth last time, beaten 19 lengths, in a hurdle (3600m) at Compiegne. Looks to have the job ahead.

Found the frame two back in a hurdle (3600m) at this track then could only manage tenth last time in a Listed hurdle (3900m) at this track, beaten 36 lengths. May feature.
