MACALO DE GREZ (4) won by six lengths on his latest start at Cholet in a Class 3 hurdle in late June and can follow up here on his first try over fences. His main threat could be DANCE ALL NIGHT (1), who has the benefit of experience over fences with a second at Compiegne in May, and he can make the selection work hard for success. FILM DIRECTOR (3) is also worthy of consideration after a pleasing effort when third in a Class 3 chase at Clairefontaine in mid-July.
Three tame efforts this year, the latter over 3900m in a claiming chase at this track on July 15. Can be opposed

KRICQUET ROYAL (7) was a creditable fifth on his latest start in a Class 4 hurdle at Dieppe 9 days ago and is give the verdict ahead of BENI GODS (3), who scored over fences in a handicap at Castera-Verduza when last seen on July 12, and can make things interesting. BAKARELO (8) is another to pay attention to and is better than his latest form figures. ANGE DE JUILLEY (5) looks best of the remainder.

NUIT TORRIDE (1) won nicely over this course last time out and has strong claims of making it four wins in a row. She faces a serious threat from BULREO DESJY (3), who ran well when she was third in a Class 2 hurdle at Auteuil on her latest start in late May and should be fit after her break. NACRE DU SEUIL (2) produced a pleasing effort when finishing third at Dieppe in late June and cannot be ruled out.

CLOTH OF GOLD (2) ran well to be second on his latest start behind ALBERTINE (3) late last month over hurdles at this track. On more favoured weight terms he can reverse the placings. ALBERTINE (3) won nicely that day and will not make things easy for the selection. NOBODY DE CHOISEL (1) got the job done over hurdles at Dieppe in a Class 3 event last month and looks like the type to keep on improving with race experience. He can have a say at the business end.

NOVALLY (5) has been absent since finishing seventh in a Class 2 hurdle at Auteuil in April, but she can be expected to be ready to make a winning return on her debut over fences. NANA THOM (4) could prove the biggest threat. She won over fences at Segre in mid-July and should have no fitness concerns. SARALD (1) jumped well enough when finishing third on his recent chase debut in the same race and is another to consider. SAIL ROCK (2) is also making his debut over fences and has the scope to do well in this discipline.

LOUBRALTAR (3) was an impressive 9.5-length winner over this course and distance in mid-July and holds leading claims of following up. His main rival could be LEWIS GREY (1), who battled on gamely to win a handicap over fences at this track on July 22. DEPRO (2) also deserves plenty of consideration after winning a handicap hurdle over this course and distance on July 27, and looks best of the remainder.

GENTLEMAN VALLEY (7) has some ground to make up on several of today's rivals following his latest start, when he finished behind BY EXETER (3), who reopposes here. Nevertheless, he is taken to reverse the form and gets the tentative vote. MR DIAFOIRUS (1) has to shoulder top weight but has strong claims after finishing third at La Teste in early July. FOR FRIENDSHIP (6) finished ahead of the selection when third in their July 27 encounter over this course and has solid each-way claims. VADIVAR (9) also ran in that race, finishing fourth, and deserves attention.

ROCK AND ROLL (3) has ran a few times in this event, his best finish when fourth in 2024. He returns after a couple of runs this year and fared well on each of them. He is the tentative selection ahead of ASTA LA PASTA (4) , who has been consistent all year with four placed efforts, and he can make life difficult for the selection. NADURRA (11) is one to look at each-way after two wins over course and distance recently. The classy performer, KAMARO D'HUEZ (1) has to concede weight to all his rivals but is hard to rule out of the top four. NARUTO (10) won this race last year and has to be respected on a track he likes.
