Impressive winner last time out in a steeplechase (4500m) at Lignieres, scoring by 3 lengths. Can feature in the finish again.

Unplaced two starts back in a steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne then improved last time when he finished fourth in a steeplechase (4400m) at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Can do a lot better.

Missed the frame the start before last in a cross-country (6000m) at Lignieres then could only manage sixth most recently in a steeplechase (4700m) at this track. In the mix.

Unplaced two starts back in a steeplechase (3500m) at this track then produced a better result last time when he finished fifth in a steeplechase (4400m) at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Certainly worth including.

Going well this prep. Placed first-up two starts ago in a hurdle (3600m) at this track then found the frame again last time in a hurdle (3900m) at this track, beaten a nose. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.

Was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (3700m) at this track. Found the frame last start in a much better performance in a steeplechase (4300m) at Le Pin Du Haras, beaten a nose. Looking elsewhere.

In the money two runs back in a steeplechase (3850m) at Compiegne. Repeated the dose more recently when second in a hurdle (3800m) at Compiegne, beaten 2 lengths. Looks very hard to beat.

Returned from a 112-day spell with a dominant 12 lengths win in a cross-country (4700m) at Compiegne last start. Has the ability to test the top fancies.

Won Saumur three starts back but he hasn't been able to go on with it, missing the frame in two runs since. Looks well suited here and gets chance to find best.

Cut last campaign short after three below average performances. Hard to have on form before a break.

Returned from a spell last start with a modest fourth in a steeplechase (4100m) at Lyon-Parilly. That run was the first for the Mathieu Pitart stable. Others rate better.

Useful jumper who returned to form to score in a steeplechase (3800m) at Moulins last start. That came following an unplaced effort in a steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne two runs ago. Won't find this easy.

Failed to finish for the second run in succession at the last outing four weeks ago in a steeplechase (4200m) at Strasbourg when she was pulled up. Won't find this easy.

Scored when resuming in a steeplechase (3500m) at Montlucon-Neris two starts ago then didn't back it up when beaten 7 lengths into fourth in a steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne last start. Looking elsewhere.
