Comment: Ran below market expectations (favourite) when tenth last week; has won here; possible blip last time out as had been running well previously; need to draw a line through his last run, but was third two starts back; should go close.

4/1

Comment: On the premises when runner-up of 13 at Saint-Cloud where he had four of these rivals behind him 23 days ago; one to note as has won off this mark in the last 12 months and his nice draw is a bonus.

Comment: String of consistent efforts of late; split Daddy Joy and Chester Sky when third last month (Le Mans) in a conditions race; must be high on list.

7/1

Comment: Solid performance to finish third at 40-1 (Saint-Cloud) three weeks ago; subpar record of 1-22; record demonstrates how he often finds at least one too good so easy enough to take on.

Comment: Was held in seventh (very soft) at Salon-De-Provence last Thursday; has won previously at this course; can give it a good shot from a draw which could make things easier and shown she can get her head in front.

14/1

Comment: Has kicked on in her last couple of races and has shown some ability, knocking on the door on occasions; beaten three-quarters of a length when third at Senonnes-Pouance two weeks ago in a maiden; form of the yard is a plus.

Comment: Towards the rear, beaten 29l, in a conditions hurdle at Fontainebleau last time; slumped a bit since winning a claimer at ParisLongchamp in September and struggled a bit in handicaps recently; finished towards the rear of 15 back down to 1m1½f three months ago at Deauville in a handicap; is passed over as a few rivals look in good form.
