ECLAT DE CHOEUR (2) is undefeated in three starts this year, winning twice over hurdles before easily dominating his rivals last time in his first start over fences, and he ought to continue his momentum. MARTHAS VINEYARD (5) should be competitive and is likely to pose the biggest threat, although JERIKO BOULOISE (3) is also capable of fighting for victory if building on the improvement of his last-start success in a steeplechase race. MIAMI DU BERLAIS (4) and JACKPOT DE REVE (1) complete the shortlist.

SARABEND (8) is closely related to Group I runner-up Diamond Carl, so she may well have enough about her to make a winning debut. KIRSCH (2) finished 2nd on the flat in her only outing and heads the list of potential dangers which also includes BEL KAFRINE (1) who, despite her recent failures, did show enough to be competitive in a race of this nature when 2nd in a hurdles race four starts back. KORISTE (10), after finishing 3rd on debut over hurdles, as well as newcomer ESTHETIQUE COTTE (9) complete the shortlist.
Finished 2nd at this track on her reappearance two starts back and, despite her recent failure (9th) in a handicap, needs only to reproduce a similar performance to fight for victory

JUST NELSA (1) caught the eye when finishing 2nd on her comeback but was then unable to fare any better than 9th on her handicap debut last time. She is, however, worth another chance back at a track on which she has already tasted success. JEWEL STAR (2) has alternated between hurdles and racing on the flat with relative success so ought to fight for victory, along with unexposed likely improvers JUST DO IT ALLEN (6) and KISS MARTINE (8).

SANT'AMBROGIO (3) may have finished unplaced on debut in the Prix de Villebon but the form of that race has been working very well, with no less than four horses to have finished ahead of him winning since. He will have improved with the benefit of that experience and it could pay to follow his progress. CHARLES MORIN (1) fared a little better in first start (8th) and would have come on since, so could fight for victory along with GILDED DRAGON (2) who has the form and experience to play another leading role here. Christophe Escuder's runners TREIZE (7) and LUCKY BERE (6) are others to consider.

GLACIER PEAK (1) produced a brilliant effort against stronger last time out and should be able to put that experience to good use against these opponents.

ARTURO (4) is knocking on the door and with the right run in transit could go close.
