NALKO DES MOTTES (1) won with a game success on his latest start at Dieppe in mid-June and this lightly raced gelding has a good deal more to come. He can edge this over NIKARIA (4), who won with authority at Dieppe on June 27 and also can improve from that success. NUIT TORRIDE (3) is unbeaten in two starts and warrants close attention, with a hat-trick not out of the question. LA GENETTE (2) completes the shortlist.

ROYAL MARVEL (1) can be rewarded for his consistency over hurdles and get off the mark on his chasing bow. His chief rival could be KAPLINO (3), who can make things interesting having shown plenty of promise when second at Compiegne on his penultimate start over hurdles, and has the scope to make a chaser. VANEADI (5) won a claiming hurdle two runs back and should be well schooled by connections for her chasing bow. EVA DE ROCHE (6) is also worth a mention.

He can be a threat as can, INVINCIBLE GUARD (1), who ran with encouragement when third over the track and trip late in June on his latest start. SAY HAY (10) looks best of the remainder.

NICLAS (3) also commands respect after winning three races on the Flat and showing promise over hurdles at this track in June. KERMANSHAH (1) looks the best of the remainder.

KAMARO D'HUEZ (4) was beaten narrowly over this track and trip late in June on his latest start by ROOSTER CROWING (1). One more favoured terms he can score at the expense of LEMNOS (6), who reverts to hurdles after a third in a Class 3 chase at this track late in June and will have no issues back over hurdles. ROOSTER CROWING (1) is another to consider despite meeting the main selection on worse terms and can give another good account of himself. NADURRA (8) makes up the shortlist.
