Returns after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Closed the last campaign in lukewarm fashion, with a seventh over 2400m at Lyon-Parilly the latest offering. Doubt he will have much to offer first up.

Five-year-old gelding with multiple wins at this journey. Got the prize last time out by 2 lengths over 2400m at Compiegne. Well placed to take this out.

Out of character performance last time out when tenth over 2600m at Marseille Vivaux, beaten 13 lengths. Not a good sign last start so others preferred.

Resumed with a lacklustre performance over 2350m at Strasbourg when 12th, beaten 8 lengths. Watch for significant improvement.

Never looked likely when resuming over 2200m at Lyon-Parilly 11 days ago. Can't entertain until he shows something more.

Scored over 3100m at Pornichet two back then missed the frame last time out over 3100m at Pornichet. Major player on best form.

Scored a determined win last time over 2600m at Marseille Vivaux. Big chance again.

Strong effort last start when he finished a close third at Strasbourg over 2350m. Winning chance.

Yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest effort a eighth over 2200m at Lyon-Parilly a week-and-a-half ago. Worth following up.

Is not a regular in the winner's stall and continued the trend last start when ninth over 2400m at Lyon-la-Soie. Should be thereabouts.

Stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he scored over 2500m at Le Croisé-Laroche on March 20. Will prove tough to stave off.

Resumed over 2500m at Nort-sur-Erdre last start and she scored by 3.5 lengths. Impressive on that occasion but looks safely held.
