Missed the frame two runs ago in a hurdle (3800m) at Dieppe. Atoned for that run last time when he filled a minor placing in a hurdle (3800m) at Dieppe. Can return to winning ways.

Back from a 95-day break. Finished off last campaign when fourth in a hurdle (3800m) at Fontainebleau, beaten 14 lengths. Key runner fresh.

Recent form has been good including a win in a G2 steeplechase (4600m) at Merano last time after finishing fifth two starts back. At his peak and will be hard to beat.

Did a good job to finish third two back in a hurdle (3800m) at Saint Brieuc but could only manage fifth in a steeplechase (3800m) at Segre last time, arriving 13 lengths behind the winner. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Sparingly-raced five-year-old who scored in a hurdle (3700m) at Jallais on debut two starts back then could only manage fifth more recently in a hurdle (3800m) at Moulins. Well-placed to bounce back to winning ways.

Returns from a spell and looks ready for a bright campaign. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a cross-country (4500m) at Le Dorat. Meets a tough field and others rate better.

Was well fancied last time but soundly beaten when fifth in a steeplechase at Gemozac. Below par last couple and looking to others.

Returns for a new yard today. Will struggle against these.

Did a good job to finish third two back in a steeplechase (3600m) at Meral but could only manage sixth in a steeplechase (3800m) at Segre last time, arriving 43 lengths behind the winner. Won't find this easy.
