JIGTSAR PAM (5) showed promise on chase debut when fourth in a Class Two conditions event at Compiegne and backed that up with a good hurdle third at the same venue. Open to further progress over fences and rates highly. PARA (1) produced a sound effort when a 4.25L third in a Class Two 3500m conditions chase at Auteuil four weeks ago. Obvious appeal for a notable stable. PRINCE CHOP (2) can go well down in grade having unseated his rider in the G2 Prix Congress at Auteuil recently. ESCORT'JET (8) holds each-way claims.
Was far too good last start on the flat, scoring by 3 lengths over 1600m at Saint-Cloud. Begins his jumps career today. Expected to handle the transition well.

SPEEDY CHARM (1) won a 1600m claimer on the flat at Saint-Cloud last outing. Notable claims on hurdling debut in what looks a suitable affair. Scorpion newcomer NYIRI (5) requires respect for a top yard while stablemate ROSSO DI SERA (9) is also worth a market check on debut. JASMIN BLUE (10) shaped well when fourth on the flat at Durtal and can improve now hurdling.
Finished fourth the start before last at Cluny on the flat. Did a much better job last time when he scored by 3.5 lengths in a hurdle at Fontainebleau over 3550m. Hard to beat if he holds the good form.

Wasn't disgraced when second two runs back in a hurdle over 3550m at Fontainebleau. Everything changed last start when unseated the rider in a steeplechase at Auteuil. Hard to fault on his best form and must be respected.

ISPANO STAR (1) ran out an easy 3.5L winner of a 3550m claiming hurdle at Fontainebleau just over a month ago. Strong chance returning to handicap company back over fences on stable debut. IDEAL DE SIVOLA (2) won a 4000m handicap chase at Le Lion-d'Angers in July and should be competitive on reappearance off 2.5kg higher. TONNERRE DE DIEU (4) represents a good yard and could show improvement now chasing on handicap debut. IN MEMORIA (5) is also considered.
Returned with a ninth in a hurdle at Auteuil. Then was 10 lengths off the winner in a 3550m hurdle at Fontainebleau 11 days ago. Will take stopping if anywhere near his peak.

KING OF DARK (6) reverts to hurdling having made a nice start to life over fences when winning a Class Four chase by 3.5L at Pontcheteau a month ago. Could well follow up in what looks a decent opportunity. MARECHAL DESJY (1) finished 10L fourth in a Class Four conditions hurdle at Fontainebleau. In the mix for a yard operating at a 20% strike-rate for his last fifty runners. INFANTE DE SOMOZA (3) disappointed on handicap debut at Fontainebleau but was sent off favourite that day and is worth another chance dropped 1kg. PATRICK (16) could be involved.

VOLKOV JELOIS (5) made is three from nine over fences when running out a comfortable 10L winner of a claiming chase at Auteuil latest. Genuine contender on stable debut. Stablemate LORD DRAGON (4) is also having his first run for the yard following a 1.5L success in a stakes race over 3200m at Slusovice (Czech Republic). Interesting runner. BERYL BAIE (3) would hold solid claims on his good second in a competitive handicap chase at Clairefontaine in July. COEUR NANTAIS (9) is worth including.

HEAVEN BAIE (9) remains lightly raced and finished a fair fourth in a Class Three qualifying handicap hurdle at Strasbourg three weeks ago. Could go well on handicap debut. MANSIONSA (1) finished runner-up to a subsequent scorer in a Fontainebleau claimer prior to finishing fourth in a similar event over 3800m at Compiegne. Key claims. MANX (12) has been running well on the flat and needs to be considered as a previous hurdling winner. MADO (2) may find the frame on reappearance.

Was below par when tenth at Auteuil in a hurdle over 4300m last time. That run followed a win in a hurdle at Auteuil two starts back. Looks hard to beat if he is on-song.
HIPPOCAMPE (5) is now four from seven over hurdles and impressed when beating a subsequent winner by 8L in a claiming hurdle at Sable-sur-Sarthe in October. Upped in grade on handicap debut but could easily have plenty more to offer. Notable chance. FAN D'APPLE'S (3) finished sixth behind a handful of next-time-out winners in a 3800m handicap hurdle at Nancy last start. Thereabouts. MACHO BORIS (16) looks interesting on stable debut having won a 3900m Auteuil handicap hurdle off 2.5kg lower in October. FRED (2) could be in the mix on the pick of his UK form.
