ASTALAVISTA (1) was ridden with plenty of patience when third last time in a Class 2 race at this racecourse earlier this month over 3500m. He stayed on well on very testing ground that day and should be good enough to score here from SOLOMON SEAL (3) who seems to be improving and was not beaten far in a Class 4 hurdle race last time. He looks like the main threat. NEMO LISES (6) and flat winner BLAS (2) are sure to be on the premises.
Two unplaced runs of late, one of them over fences. Won a handicap hurdle in June at Auteuil over 3600m. Outside place chance

LUNA THE GREAT (2) was a narrow winner from GREENSCAPE (6) when they met here over 3400m 16 days ago. It should be a battle between the pair again, with a marginal preference for the former despite meeting on 1kg worse terms. KANOUMA JELOIS (8) looks the best each-way option after a good run in a handicap hurdle at this track recently. JAZZ MOON (9) should be better suited back over hurdles after two mishaps over fences.
Raced keenly when unseating his rider 4 hurdles from home at this track last time, won before that over fences in a claiming chase over 3600m on December 5th. If relaxing he can be on the premises

Recent winner over hurdles 18 days ago GOLDROSCHEN (8) is taken to score on her chase debut. She probably has the most to fear from KAISER DE SIVOLA (6) who has been performing consistently over hurdles. He looks the ideal type to do well over fences. ALGAJUST (4) has won two races over hurdles of late and now tries fences for the second time after a 'blip' on his only try at Auteuil in a Class 2 chase earlier this month. KLOVIS DES MOTTES (1) can feature if relaxing.
Remains a maiden, though has revealed means in both specialties. His introduction to this campaign, however, was hardly convincing (8th) so he'll need to improve back over hurdles

In his latest outing, which was just his second start this year in a stronger handicap lineup, VOLKOV JELOIS (9) was fighting for the leading positions until his blunder at the final obstacle. He did, however, show enough on that occasion to suggest that, if he proves himself to be more diligent this time, he can - like stablemate Lord Dragon on 11 December - win a race of this nature at what is likely to be attractive odds. CHATEAU YOGHURT (11) showed recently that retains the means to be successful at this level, which could also be said of HALITE (3), whose fall last time is best forgotten. FOU DU BRESIL (5) would probably have needed has last start and remains a prime candidate for success off a competitive mark. DEPENDE (4), BEST BOWL (13) and FRED (8) are others to consider.

Runner-up in a Class 2 conditions race last time, PEARL DOCTOR (6) has a strong winning chance in this lineup off his current mark. SPEED DE CERISY (7), who outclassed her opposition in a claiming race recently, ought to pose a threat, despite switching to the handicaps now. KAPCHOUNIKA (8), runner-up in three of her last four outings, and UNIVERSAL WIND (9), who has improved recently, should be competitive for the places, with the shortlist completed by BLISSIMO (3) and FIRST POLAR (1), both of whom do not lack resources.

Having finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively in a handicap at this level over the course and distance earlier in the month, victory is likely to be fought out between ANDOINS (3), GRAZANO (8) and IGLOO IGLOO (12). Of the remainder, MOONRISE SHADOW (2) could give the most cheek to the principals following two pleasing efforts over hurdles recently. DAYS DREAM (1), who has never disappointed on this racetrack, INVINCIBLE POWER (6), and ECLAIR DE VATI (4) complete the shortlist.

AFFORTUNATO (1) finished 4th in a Quinte+ on this course a fortnight ago and, on the strength of that form, is likely to prove too good for these rivals with a repeat of that display Veteran RASANGO (5) remains consistent and ought to be competitive on his return to the handicaps following a last-start victory over this course and distance in a claiming race. Fellow recent scorers SPES ENERGICALL (6) and HELLENA (7) are capable mares whose chances cannot be discounted either.

Hard-knocking handicapper IBAN ROQUE (2) bounced back to form with a good 2nd at this course earlier this month and need only repeat that performance to go one better in this concluding contest. However, DESIRE FOR EVER (7) has created quite the impression in her two starts over hurdles recently and is likely to fight for victory. Consistent ROCK AND ROLL (3) ought to acquit himself competitively this field, and it'd also be silly to ignore the chances of track specialist CIRANO DE PAIL (1). The shortlist is completed by MAMIX'S PASSION (6), KING DAVID (10) and FIRST DREAM (4).
