CHAPELIER (3) sets the standard and has shown more than enough in six runs to date to suggest he's capable of winning at this level. Leading claims returning to maiden company following a good handicap fourth over 1400m here. There was promise from FIRST PAGE (5) debut fourth at Mont-de-Marsan in August and he should have more to give for a top stable. GIANT STEP (2) was denied a neck in a 1800m maiden at Lyon-la-Soie last-time-out and looks likely to play a major role. Newcomer CHAUD SOLEIL (8) is of note.
Was unplaced two runs ago in a hurdle (3300m) at this track then could only manage fifth in same conditions. Can improve in this more suitable contest.

All four of WINGS OF LIBERTY (1) career starts have come here and he hasn't shaped badly in claiming hurdles on recent outings. Expected to improve now sent chasing. Strong claims. JUS DE COCO (2) and QUO VOLARE (5) finished third and fourth respectively in a claiming chase over 3400m at this venue last start. The former is of interest with first-time cheekpieces applied while the latter won a claiming chase at Nimes earlier in the season and has the form to be firmly involved. QUEEN DINO (7) pulled-up in a conditions chase recently but would be dangerous if bouncing back with cheekpieces fitted.
Last appeared 11 weeks ago when she finished 6L from the winner in fourth over 2250m at Montauban. Could surprise.

SKA DE L'AIGLE (4) was well beaten in the G1 Qatar Arabian Trophy des Poulains at Saint-Cloud when last seen. Notable claims down in grade on stable debut having finished third in the G3 Royal Cavalry Oman - Prix Tidjani at La Teste last July. Stablemate AL RIFFAA (3) finished runner-up to a next-time-out winner over 2100m at Toulouse last outing. Chance with first-time cheekpieces fitted. JERADA DE NIELLANS (12) represents a stable that do well in this sphere and would have to be respected if strong in the betting. MUSANDAM (2) is considered.

HORAHORA HAS (4) built on a fair debut by finishing third in a similar Class Three conditions course and distance hurdle last outing. Player with further progress likely. EMIRATES (1) produced a promising debut when fourth in the Listed Prix Finot (Pouliches) at Auteuil prior to finishing a disappointing sixth here. Capable of better and likely she'll be thereabouts if bouncing back. Emphatic debut winner JOLY GIRL (2) fell when not unfancied for a Class One track and trip hurdle. Worth another chance. Hurdling newcomer VEZZANA (10) is interesting have placed on the level twice in Germany.

HAVANEA (3) bounced right back to form when beating GAGE DE REUSSITE (2) by 3L in a track and trip handicap chase three weeks ago. The former may has been raised 3.5kg and will need to prove she can back that up. Preference is for the latter who holds a more consistent profile and won a handicap chase over course and distance off a similar mark this time last year. ENKI THE BEST (1) can go well following a Class Three conditions chase success here recently and the third home in that event PICA LINA (6) should be on the premises with first-time cheekpieces fitted. GAZ GAZ (9) produced a commanding track and trip handicap chase win last-time-out and can remain competitive off 3kg higher.

MEJLAD (2) made a pleasing debut when runner-up over course and distance in December. Expected to measure up from a good draw. DOLON (5) wasn't disgraced when beaten 9.5L into fourth in the Listed Prix Ourour over this trip at Toulouse. Key claims down in grade. Similar comments apply to ALOBAYYAH (7) who showed some sound form before being well beaten in the G1 Qatar Arabian Trophy des Pouliches at Saint-Cloud last September. JAIZANA EL AHLEM (10) is considered on the back of a sound sixth in the G3 Prix Nevada Ii over 1600m at Toulouse.

SAFE FLIGHT (1) was having his sixth start over fences when runner-up in a track and trip handicap chase three weeks ago. Obvious appeal off the same mark with further progress entirely possible. HELLENA (2) won a Class Three conditions hurdle at Cagnes-sur-Mer (3500m) a month ago and should have no issue back over fences. FEU FOLLET SIVOLA (8) unseated five-out in the aforementioned course and distance handicap chase. Remains a maiden after forty-eight starts but holds sound place claims having finished runner-up in a claiming chase prior. PAS DE QUARTIER (4) makes each-way appeal.

This looks a decent opportunity for WAYOFSPEED (3) to go one better than when second to a subsequent scorer in a similar course and distance maiden recently. Major claims. ADAJA (1) showed absolutely nothing on debut at La Teste last summer but should be capable of better for a leading yard. DESIMONE (10) has the form to feature back in maiden company and newcomer BELLE ANSE (11) would be interesting if attracting market support.

Reliable jumper who was back to her best to score in a hurdle (3500m) at this track last time out. That came on the back of an unplaced effort in a hurdle (3500m) at Cagnes-sur-Mer two runs back. All set to continue the strong recent form.

A competitive looking closer. KING OF DARK (5) placed in what was possibly a stronger looking handicap hurdle at Cagnes-sur-Mer before finishing runner-up in a conditions chase at the same venue. Claims off an unchanged mark. The unexposed IMPULSION ALLEN (6) can go well on handicap debut following a good second in a 3500m conditions hurdle here. JOSHUA MOON (1) finished runner-up at this track seventeen days ago and looks likely to be in the mix in this suitable affair. DIAMANTAIRE (10) pulled-up on chase debut here recently but showed some sound hurdling form prior and could bounce back.
