Showed nice aptitude for the game before he was sent off for one year on the sidelines. Came back from the break in good shape. Unlucky last time out
Won at the venue last year. Unplaced in both starts since returning from a one year break
Showed plenty of promise in the provinces in this code last year. Off since last December
Went off the mark in this code on eight attempt at Compiegne. Has more to offer
Broke his maiden tag in this discipline on sixth attempt at Meslay du Maine. Up in grade
Has been consistent over the fences so far. Was not disgraced in a competitive handicap hurdle at Compiegne in last start and will have her chances
(4) ELECTION finished in front of a very decent bunch of horses when she went off the mark at Compiegne in her last start. She is still unexposed and looks a solid winning prospect in this opener. (1) ECHO SACRE has come back in good shape from his one year break and would have probably made the frame had he not fall in his last start at the venue.
Won by three lengths when off the mark at Compiegne on third attempt. Leading claims once again
Easy winner when off the mark over course & distance on second attempt. Can follow up
Finished third in both starts over course & distance so far. Place chance again
Showed some progress when fourth of nine behind (3) LOVE LINK in last run but has more to find
A distant fifth of ten on debut at the venue last month. Will come on for the run but unlikely to trouble the judge yet
Was maiden on the flat before her modest debut over hurdles at Compiegne three weeks ago. Can be overlooked
Finished down the field first time out at Compiegne on 11 November. Has too much to find
Finished third of ten first time out at the venue last month. Had two of today's rivals behind her that day
Well beaten in both starts to date over hurdles and needs to show vast improvement
(8) LUCIE DU BERLAIS finished 4.5l ahead of (2) KAPLINE when both fillies met for their first start at the venue on 9 October. Guillaume Macaire's inmate has since scored impressively but could once again end up behind David Cottin's charge. (1) LA BONDUE won well at Compiegne one month ago and is one to keep on the radar.
Has done little of note in four starts to date. First run in a claimer
Fell and pulled-up in two starts over hurdles. First run in a claimer
Yet to hit the frame after four runs but showed better intentions in last outing at Strasbourg
Good consistent filly in this class of event. Is confirmed at the venue and will have her chances
One place from three runs to date. Showed improvement in last two in this division and can be in the mix
Has been consistent in this code recently. Finished in front of six of today's rivals last time at Fontainebleau
Has done nothing of note in three starts to date including two over hurdles
Consistent filly over both hurdles and fences. Slightly disappointing last time out though
Beaten a long way on second career outing over fences three weeks ago at Compiegne
Has not shown any enthusiasm for the game in three starts to date. Hard to fancy
Dual winner on the flat and scored first time over hurdles back in April. Has been regressive since then
No better than a sixth place from two starts on the flat and three over hurdles. Look elsewhere
(6) ELNAZ has been holding form well and is overdue a first career success. She is the obvious pick in this line-up and will be retained ahead of the consistent (4) JIVRURE who has had a busy year in the claiming division and (5) THE GREAT ONE who is still unexposed. (3) LA SABLONNIERE can pick up some stake money.
Won three from four over hurdles so far. First time at the venue and must be considered
Opened account on fourth attempt at Moulins last month. Steps up in grade but has plenty of progress to offer
One win and a close second from two starts in this code so far. First run at Auteuil
Was in front when falling at the last on re-entry at Moulins last month. Has to be seriously considered
Dual winner on the flat that was placed once from five starts over hurdles so far. Others make more appeal
Has finished on the podium in both her starts over hurdles in the provinces. Place chance
Unbeaten in four starts over jumps in Czech Republic. Faces a totally different task today
Showed significant progress when third of eight on second start over hurdles at Compiegne last month
Finished fourth of eleven on hurdle debut at Cagnes sur Mer last December. Off since then
(1) LA MOME has enjoyed a productive year over hurdles and is back in her preferred discipline after a failed attempt over fences. She is the one they all have to beat although it may be wise to keep a close eye on (8) FOUDRE D'AINAY who has a lot of progress to offer and has Kevin Nabet booked for the ride.
Six time winner from twenty-four. Finished second in his only previous start in a claiming hurdle
Just the one win from thirty. Has claims on best form but remains highly unreliable
Recorded a third career victory with an easy success in a Compiegne claiming hurdle nine days ago. Can follow up
Has done nothing of note in three starts in past three years and can easily be overlooked
Placed a few times in this class of event last year but not sighted on both starts this season and is hard to fancy
Useful in the claiming division but is preferred over fences. Place chance
Effective in the claiming hurdle division. Excellent last runner-up effort on second seasonal start and will come on for the race
Erratic seven years old gelding. Will relish the heavy ground and can spring a surprise
Has struggled with form since returning from a nearly three years absence. Not a priority
(1) CELTINO has generally been in good form this season. He finished second in his only start in this division so far and could be a tough nut to crack. Trainer Francois-Marie Cottin is well armed in this contest with (3) CAPHARNAUM (7) JENYCHOPE and (6) CARISANDRE who all have the ability to make the frame.
Five time winner from twenty-one and looks a solid prospect on recent form
Except for her last run is generally consistent in both code and should make amends
One win and one place from two starts over hurdles this season. First time at Auteuil
Won on re-entry from a nearly four years absence last August at Vertou but has flopped twice since then
Won two races on the flat last year. Well beaten fourth on hurdle debut on return to action at Argentan last month
(1) BLACK LUNA has been particularly effective over the fences this season but she has won three times over hurdles before and should play a leading role in what is a modest line-up. (2) COSI FAN TUTTE let punters down at Bordeaux in her last start but that is unlikely to happen again and she is in for a full redemption. (3) EN GRANDE POMPE and (5) ENNA PIETRA cannot be ruled out of the equation.
A winner of three from six over hurdles. Left a very good impression on re-entry at Strasbourg
Good consistent mare over both hurdles and fences. Has a bit to prove at the venue
Lightly-raced gelding who has been effective in both code so far and warrants the utmost respect
Looked a very promising sort last year. Beaten 12 lengths when second to (1) ENZO DES ONGRAIS on return from a one year absence at Strasbourg
Won two from three last year including one at the venue. Soundly beaten on return to action at Moulins but will strip fitter today
Winner of the biggest handicap chase in France last spring. Disappointed in four starts since then
Dual winner on the flat. One place from two starts over hurdles. Lack of experience may be an issue
One place - over fences - from three starts over jumps last year. Returns from a 17 months absence
Soundly beaten in both starts over hurdles thus far and looks hard to make a case for
Best effort from five starts over hurdles is a fourth place at Strasbourg last time out. Has a lot to find
Uk raider who comes in the race on the back of a modest sequence at home. Others are preferred
Has shown early promise over both hurdles and fences but returns from a 581 days absence
Finished third of five on hurdle debut at Moulins last month. Vast improvement needed
No better than a distant fifth from three starts over hurdles and is hard to fancy
Second to Edenham at the venue in September on his only start over hurdles (3) ENFANT D'ESTRUVAL has also demonstrated a huge potential over fences. He is back over the smaller obstacles today and will surely take a power of beating. (1) ENZO DES ONGRAIS made a very promising return to action at Strasbourg last month and had (4) EURASIEN twelve lengths behind him that day.
