5th last time out, he won before that over 3800m at Angers in a Class 3 handicap chase on February 26th. Has work ahead

Fair 2nd over 3900m at Compiegne on March 24th in a Class 2 chase on the last run. Hard to rule out

Two decent 3rd placed efforts of late, the most recent over 3500m at this track in a Class 3 handicap chase. Ought to be thereabouts

Won over 3600m at Fontainebleau on March 11th in a Class 4 event last time out. Honest performer who will be hard to beat

Fair 2nd over 4100m at Lyon Parilly on his last start in a Class 2 handicap chase on March 16th. Live player

6th last time out, 3rd before that over 3800m in a Class 3 hurdle at Saint-Brieuc on March 2nd. Place chance

Unplaced on the one run this year, that was over 3500m at this track in a Class 3 handicap chase. Not seen before that for 17 months. Avoidable

Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3900m in a Class 2 chase at Compiegne on March 24th over fences. Look for an alternative

Four unplaced runs this year, the latter over 3500m at this track in a Class 3 handicap chase on March 23rd. One to steer clear of

7th last time out, 4th before that over 3600m at Auteuil on March 2nd in a Class 2 chase. Hard to fancy

Two unplaced runs since a 2nd over 3800m at Le Petre in a Class 4 chase on October 26th. Opposable

Unplaced on the one run this year, 4th on December 8th at this track in a Class 1 chase over 4400m before that. One for the shortlist
