ROLLINGSTAR HAS (4) finished off his race well at Angers when he was third last time. He was settled at the rear at Angers and if Zuliani can get him to relax he will be hard to beat. BLISSIMO (2) will do all he can to beat the selection and is a live danger. He was second in a handicap hurdle last time out at Clairefontaine in August and will be fit for this assignment. KARMIX (1) and MY LORD (3) are also worth considering in what looks to be a competitive race.

AGATHEA (3) won well last time out at Nantes 15 days ago and jumped well on her chase debut when third before that success. Back over fences today she can get her first chase win. CHOEUR DESAINTONGE (4) looks as though he could be the biggest danger. He has shown promise on both of his chase runs so far and was a good second last time over 4000m in a Class 4 race. WINGSUITER (2) can make the top three. He has been consistent of late. JUHENIUM (1) is worth a mention.

SHAMALRA (2) has a good chance to get his first win over fences. A useful hurdler he still has more to come over fences and ran well when fourth at this track when last seen in late October. BEAU DINO (6) has had three nice runs over hurdles and looks like the ideal type to flourish over fences. EARL OF SHANNON (4) also has the right credentials to make a decent chaser and is worth considering. RUE BARBIZON (1) makes up the shortlist.

LA MENARA (2) did plenty right when scoring at Saint-Brieuc in early November on her second run over hurdles. She can improve again from that and looks like the one to beat. KAKO (1) has shown ability in both runs and is ridden by a decent claimer who takes off a kilo. He is the main threat. KOPECK D'OUDAIRIES (3) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. Useful flat race performer HAPTICS (7) can play a part if he takes to hurdles and is one to watch closely.

PHARAON (2) returned from a long break to score last time out. there is every chance he will strip fitter for that ran and can follow up to win the lucky last.
