Was unplaced first-up two starts back in a steeplechase (3800m) at Compiegne. Improved and found the frame last start in a steeplechase (3900m) at Compiegne, beaten 14 lengths. Ideally placed return to winning form.

Last three runs have been ordinary since winning at Compiegne four back. Beaten 17 lengths when fifth in a hurdle (3800m) at Compiegne last start. Can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Yet to hit the frame this campaign, last start finishing fourth in a hurdle at this track when beaten 29 lengths. Below par lately but has some claims on best form.

Is a very good fresh performer returning from a 902-day layoff. Kicked off with a minor placing in a LR hurdle (4300m) at this track when last in work. Sure to feature on best form.

Was returning from a 139-day layoff last start when he failed to complete the course in a hurdle (3900m) at this track. Before that first-up run he made the move to the Miroslav Rulec stable. Needs to go up a notch.

Retired from the race two back at Moulins then turned things around last start when beaten half a length in second (2700m) at Orleans. Needs to improve further to feature.

Last start was in a hurdle (3900m) at this track when eased out of the race. Unlikely to feature.

Less than impressive this prep. Two starts ago when resuming. Finished 12th at the latest appearance in a steeplechase (3800m) at Compiegne, beaten 27 lengths. All set to return to form.

Safely held latest finishing third but beaten 15 lengths in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Strong finish latest and looks a key chance again.

Was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (4200m) at Meslay-du-Maine. Finished third last start in a much better performance in a steeplechase (3800m) at Moulins, beaten 38 lengths. Likely to play a major role.

Making heavy weather of things of late. Two runs back wound-up in 14th in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Hopes of a rebound were dashed when she took a tumble last start in a hurdle (3800m) at Strasbourg. Looks to have the job ahead.

Needs to show something after two poor efforts this prep, the latest when beaten 37 lengths in a 3600m hurdle at this track. Has ability and is among the chances.

Finished runner-up but well held by the easy winner last start when beaten 15 lengths in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Looks well placed this line-up and can go one better.
