Comment: Not disgraced when sixth here over 2m7½f (conditions chase) four weeks ago; if replicating best previous efforts warrants respect.

4/1

Comment: Fourth, beaten 5l, in a conditions hurdle at Auteuil last time; three-race maiden though does have a second place to his name; must go on the shortlist as there could be more to come in this new discipline and he has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Comment: Just the one victory on her CV; pulled up when unfancied over 2m1½f here (conditions chase) dropped back in distance two months ago; now back over fences; ought to give it a shot as shown promise on occasion and it might be worth drawing a line through her latest run.

Comment: Got the job done in a Listed hurdle by a neck with Lotus Vert (runner-up) and Motu Kota (51st) behind last month; winner of two of his three career starts; warrants respect despite this step up in class and horses from these quarters merit close inspection in this type of contest.

9/5

Comment: Goes for a hat-trick today and likes it here (seven wins); successful by 3½l dropped back in distance did so accounting for four of these rivals last month in a Grade 2 chase; likely to be in contention.

Comment: Came out on top by 4l here over 2m2f (handicap hurdle) last month; loves this venue (three wins from 12 course runs); hard enough to fancy with more demanding test in store.

Comment: Narrow winner of a handicap hurdle 49 days ago; definitely of interest as may still be a step ahead of the handicapper despite ratings hike.

Comment: Finished third in a handicap chase at Compiegne latest; just the one victory on her CV; pulled up when unfancied in January at Cagnes-sur-Mer in a handicap hurdle; now back over hurdles; in the mix with jockey's allowance a bonus and would be dangerous to write her off.

Comment: Beaten 24l when tenth of 18 over 2m3f at Pau (handicap hurdle) on New Year's Day, handicap mark eased since; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win) but form lately has been a mixed bag; first start for new stable; back from an absence here; is passed over as running in what looks to be a hot race.

Comment: Scored by a slim margin in a conditions hurdle at Cagnes-sur-Mer in 2023; has made a pleasing start to her career with two wins from five starts; has a long absence to overcome; hard to dismiss as she should have potential upside; smart yard and open to improvement in this code.

Comment: Needs to improve on balance of recent form and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); failed to land a blow when 11th of 18 here over 2m2f (handicap hurdle) last month; others more appealing given the strong opposition here.

25/1

Comment: Third of 12 when sent off 40-1 over 2m3f at Strasbourg (handicap hurdle) four weeks ago; has run 22 times without getting off the mark; warrants respect if building on last performance.

28/1

Comment: A previous winner here; pulled up when unfancied over 2m4f at Cagnes-sur-Mer (handicap hurdle) over Christmas; returns from a break here; poses a threat as mark is dropping and would be dangerous to write her off.

33/1

Comment: Held in tenth over 2m2f at Senonnes-Pouance (handicap hurdle) off higher mark five weeks ago; winless in five starts but has shown promise with second his top showing; should be thereabouts as rider's allowance is big help and horses from these quarters merit close inspection in this type of contest.

Comment: Not beaten too far when seventh here with three of these rivals behind him last week in a claiming hurdle; doesn't win often; this is competitive and has questions to answer.

Comment: Been out of sorts of late and infrequent winner; behind three of these rivals here over 2m2f (handicap hurdle) when beaten 28l 22 days ago; this looks a fair heat so looks risky.

50/1

Comment: Pulled up when unfancied over 2m3f at Fontainebleau (handicap hurdle, dropped a few pounds since) five months ago; one win to his name was achieved a fair way back and generally struggled of late; returns from a layoff; this looks a fair heat so not an obvious one.

Comment: Behind three of these when towards the rear of 16 in a claiming hurdle last Thursday; been a while since he achieved his only career win; this looks a fair heat so looks opposable.
