6/4

Comment: A winning hurdler (one from eight); unbeaten at this course after three runs; admirable career strike-rate (three from 12 to date); respectable fifth over 2m1½f at Auteuil (conditions chase) in October; returns from an absence here; open to progress in this code and should have every chance.

Hell Storm

Jockey: Leo-Paul Brechet Trainer: Yannick Fouin Age/Wt: 3/10-8

Comment: Finished fifth in a maiden at Saint-Cloud latest; can be in the mix as he is open to improvement in this new sphere and his trainer is a good operator.

Riskypic

Jockey: Raphael Mayeur Trainer: Erwan Grall Age/Wt: 3/10-8

Comment: Finished third on debut; warrants respect as undoubtedly has scope to improve in this new code and from a stable often strong in these races.

Pourquoi Pas Papa

Jockey: Gabin Meunier Trainer: David Cottin Age/Wt: 3/10-8

Comment: Newcomers from this trainer regularly hit the target; shares a dam with Pourquoi Pas Maman, a 2m2f winner; others look more obvious on paper; he could be one for another day.

Politico

Jockey: Sertash Nailov-Ferhanov Trainer: Hugo Merienne Age/Wt: 3/10-8

Comment: Racing education begins here for this son of Toronado; sibling of Sagarrou (2m3½f winner); remains to be seen whether he'll be clued up enough to get off the mark - a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Perfect Picture

Jockey: Ludovic Philipperon Trainer: Nicolas Caullery Age/Wt: 3/10-8

Comment: 11th in a Chantilly handicap last time out; still searching for first win after seven tries; others appeal more on hurdles debut.

Muloughboy

Jockey: Kevin Nabet Trainer: N George & A Zetterholm Age/Wt: 3/10-8

Fun Vert

Jockey: Clement Lefebvre Trainer: E D' Andigne Age/Wt: 3/10-8

Comment: Etienne Andigne D' can ready one to strike at the first time of asking; first race for the son of For Fun; looks likely to be involved as some good aspects to his profile.

Anarchiste

Jockey: Thomas Journiac Trainer: David Cottin Age/Wt: 3/10-8

Verdict: ILTONE is fancied for this. He is bidding for his second course success and has rewarded supporters in the past. Celtic Warrior and Justice should also be in the mix.

Bony And Clide

Jockey: Thomas Journiac Trainer: Philippe Peltier Age/Wt: 5/10-1 F: 16867- OR: 58

Comment: Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-11); beaten 8l four months ago when sent off 25-1 at Pau in a handicap hurdle; enhanced his record to four wins from 11 career starts last time; despite that success last time, looks an unlikely winner.
