A moderate 9th in a Claimer over 1500m at Marseille-Vivaux on 16 February. His form has been mediocre of late and will need to up his game to feature

Won a Claimer over 2500m at Deauville on 33 January. Did have NEPALAIS (3) behind him and although that runner holds a weight advantage, this gelding does have good form at this course

A competent 2nd in a Claimer over 1900m at Deauville on 7 February. Not beaten far when 3rd behind VADIRUM (2) two runs back and will now be 2kg better off. That should be enough to reverse that form line

Disappointed when 11th in a Handicap over 2000m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on 18 February. That was a Quinte+ but a run earlier he finished just 0.75 lengths behind NEPALAIS (3) so warrants consideration

Finished 8th in a Claimer over 2000m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on 26 January. His jockey reported that his mount just ran out of steam but as he won his penultimate start, he deserves another chance

Good run when 2nd over 1400m at Limoges on 29 November. Finished last in her only other race on this surface at Chantilly and is unlikely to have an impact on this race

Pulled up in a Hurdle race over 3600m at Auteil on 29 October. Before he took to hurdle racing he did have some decent form on the Flat so could be the surprise package

NEPALAIS (3) makes his return to Lyon-La Soie after winning in October 2022, his only run at this track. He put up an excellent effort when 3rd at Deauville last time and will now be 2kg better off over a preferred distance with reopposing winner of that race VADIRUM (2). However, he has regularly run well at this course so cannot be overlooked. CLEOD'OR (4) is another with excellent form at this track with three wins while DISTURBED (6) is better than his last run might suggest.
Comes off a win in a race over 1450m at Honzrath in Germany. Has some good form in that country and although he will have to produce his best to be a factor, he must have some sort of chance

On the basis of the premise that one must choose horses for courses, SIR WALTER (4) should have the advantage over his rivals. He rarely runs a bad race at the track where he has notched up all three of his victories. BEST SHALAA (12) is another runner who has a good record at the course but has yet to win there. However, she was not far behind the main selection last time. HADEWIN (5) is in good form while BRAVE SHIINA (6) is always thereabouts.
Hard-fought winner of a Handicap over this course and distance on 14 February. Led all the way and fought on gamely to win and will now be fitted with blinkers.

MR RIEM (1) comes off a courageous start-to-finish victory and with headgear fitted he could overcome the 3kg penalty and win again. SPIRIT GREY (3) has been the model of consistency recently and with the weight turnaround in his favour, is capable of winning. SECRET FEELING (8) showed huge improvement in her last start and could well trouble the top two. AS A CHARM (10) has been showing progress and better drawn this time looks a threat.

Had excuses when 7th in a Maiden over this course and distance on 17 November. He went off a strong favourite but his jockey reported that he was tense behind the stalls, and although he travelled well early on, he faded late. Deserves another chance

BON VIVEUR (3) has run two good races and this slightly longer trip should be right up his street. If that is the case he will be hard to beat. REGAL EYE (4) was expected to win last time but got uptight at the start and faded out late. He is better than that and deserves another chance. FAITH IN YOU (5) made a promising debut at Pau and could improve on that performance. SAHIMAA (6) is the stable companion of the first selection and could also contest the finish.

CHASUBLE (3) conquered a Class 3 division last time out and takes a slight step down in division here. She does return after a small layoff but can run well fresh. DOCTEUR TOURNESOL (9) romped home over the course and distance in his previous attempt and has every chance in following up. MOWGLI (6) is never far off the action and is always a honest soldier. He is in with a place chance. EXHIT (5) takes a step back to the 2400m where he was a victor and would be of no surprise if he claims the throne.

SECOND TO NONE (2) is in absolute threatening form having run two seconds in his last two starts and will take a power of beating this time around. POET'S BLACK (10) made some redemption in his last attempt after going missing a bit on form and a similar effort can find him having a firm podium chance. CALAS QUEEN (9) may seem to be erratic of late but can contend if she puts her best foot forward. VINO (6) is still a maiden contender and it will be a dream come true if she gets the job done here.

PELIGROSO (1) put up an encouraging debut when finishing fourth over the 2000m. He now steps 400m further which could be ideal for him to introduce his first career win at the All-weather track. TERFAAS DESERT (2) made improvement from his debut performance and meets the perfect field where he could inch even closer. He holds a good chance. SIMPLYTHEBEST (3) has already had eight attempts and has built up the urge to shed his maiden. He is one to boldly consider. CAMBER SANDS (7) completes the quartet mix.
