Needs to show something after two poor efforts this prep, the latest when beaten 12 lengths in a 3600m hurdle at this track. Fitter and is worth including.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3450m) at Compiegne, beaten 22 lengths. Should be about the mark.

Consistent four-year-old gelding who has won two of his five starts. Last time out was beaten 6 lengths when second in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Strong winning chance.

Returned from a 152-day spell with a solid second in a LR hurdle (3600m) at Compiegne last start. Key runner who is expected to feature again.

Won two starts back in a LR hurdle (3600m) at this track then was popular in betting when a respectable second, beaten a head, in a LR hurdle (3600m) at this track. Must be respected.

Unplaced in two starts this time in work, both over the jumps. Finished seventh when resuming then was 2 lengths away in fourth more recently in a LR hurdle (3600m) at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable event.

Well beaten in a this track hurdle at big odds in soft going last time when sixth. Prefer in easier.

Returned from a spell in a hurdle over 3600m at this track but unseated rider. Needs to bounce back but unlikely to feature without further improvement.

Four-year-old filly who returns from a break. Wound up last campaign with a fifth in a G3 hurdle (3400m) at Compiegne. Harder here and happy to risk fresh in this line-up.

Has been well off best in three runs since winning at this track four back. Beaten 23 lengths when 11th in a LR hurdle (3600m) at this track last start. Others appear to be going better.
