Not raced for five months. Closed off last preparation with a minor placing in a cross-country (4700m) at Moulins, beaten 4.5 lengths. Expected to play a major role.

Extremely good jumper who has strung together two wins over the obstacles. Added to the tally last time in a steeplechase (4500m) at Jallais. In form but this will stretch him.

Missed the placings in a steeplechase (3500m) at this track two back then did a better job to finish second in a steeplechase (4000m) at Cluny last start. Ideally placed return to winning form.

Third-up here and drops back 800m in distance. Fair fresh finishing third at this track but followed that up with a very disappointing effort in a steeplechase (4300m) at Nantes last time.

Did well to finish second two back in a hurdle (3650m) at Mont-de-Marsan but could only manage seventh in a hurdle (3900m) at Bordeaux last time, arriving 15 lengths behind the winner. Strong each-way hope.

Missed the placings but wasn't beaten all that far last time when fourth in a steeplechase (3500m) at this track. Don't underestimate.

Eased out of the race two starts back. Showed a glimpse of form more recently when fifth in a steeplechase (3500m) at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Must be given another chance.

Unwanted last few and has run to expectations, beaten out of sight. Struggling for form and would need sharp improvement.
