Won a Cagnes steeplechase at the end of last year before trying his luck at a higher level. Absent since finishing 11th in a 3600m hurdles race at Auteuil on 24 March

Experienced jumper with sound references, including a last-start 6th over 4400m at Auteuil last month (2 October). Attractive outsider

Took advantage of an ideal engagement to open his account with better jumping at Angouleme on 20 October over 3800m. Seems capable of following up

Made a winning chase debut at Haras du Pin in May and finished 5th in both subsequent outings in this sphere, the latest at Clairefontaine in June. Dark horse

Has sound references/form credentials in this category, including a last-start 4th over 3700m at Craon on 10 June. Place chance

Took advantage of an ideal opportunity to open his account over 4100m at Blain on 31 August. Open to further progress on his reappearance

Last-start winner on heavy ground at Machecoul on 20 October over 2350m on the flat. Ought to be competitive back in the steeplechase category

Consistent jumper with sound references/form credentials, albeit without a victory. Finished 3rd in a 3600m Fontainebleau claimer on 14 October

Returned from a 4-month absence when finishing 4th over 4000m in a steeplechase race at Durtal on 13 October. Has scope to improve
