Last appeared 12 weeks ago when she finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1700m at Marseille-Borely. Worth noting she won first-up last prep at Deauville. Excellent chance while fresh.

Impressive debut course and distance winner KOVROV (2) steps up in class for top connections but could well prove equal to the task. Selected to remain unbeaten. BOLIVIE (1) will find this easier than the Listed Prix Delahante over 1700m at Marseille-Borely she finished fourth in. Sets the standard down in grade on AW debut. BLACK COSMO (3) won a 1400m claimer here and is preferred to KHANSA (4) for third spot.
Returns after a spell of 10 months. Opened the last campaign with a solid third in a steeplechase (4000m) at this track. Overall first-up record reads well.

GITANO AA(9) made it five wins from eight career starts and completed the hat-trick with a fine chasing success over 4000m here last outing. Hard to ignore in current form with a progressive profile for a top yard. The supplemented HIREINE DE LAGARDE AA(7) holds form in stronger Auteuil chases including a sound Class One fourth over 4400m in November. Notable hope. HARDI BLUE TROIS AA(2) defied market expectations when third in that event and cannot be discounted. AURPAIR AA(4) could find the frame.
Defied the market last time when third in a hurdle (3300m) at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Sure to be highly competitive.

Won (3000m) at Limoges on debut two runs ago then couldn't repeat the dose last start when sixth in a hurdle (3500m) at this track beaten 11 lengths. Ideally placed to get back to winning ways.

Limited hurdling form on offer and a market check is advised. There was promise amongst inexperience from JEUX INTERDITS (10) when sixth over course and distance. Expected to go close if building on that as anticipated. HORAHORA HAS (8) was sent off favourite for a track and trip newcomers hurdle but was ultimately well-held back in sixth. Could prove a different proposition with that run under her belt for top connections. DIVA DU LUY (9) finished one spot in-front of Jeux Interdits on debut and should feature. Recent Cagnes-sur-Mer third JUVENTUS LE DUN (1) is noted.
Kicked off her career with a moderate 14th

CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY (4) sets the standard and arrives having gone close when third over 1600m here last month. Top chance upped in trip with the blinkers worn that day retained. VILLA GUIBERT (5) finished third on debut at Cholet last October and should also appreciate the stiffer stamina test. Claims. KERDINA (7) has the form to feature and experience on her side while market support for newcomer JESS (10) would be interesting.
Good second two back in a steeplechase (3600m) at Fontainebleau then improved sharply to register a big win in a hurdle (4000m) at Craon four weeks ago. Top chance.

INZEO DU GOUET (1) has been in top form of late and ran out a ready 5L winner of a 4000m Craon claiming hurdle last month. Can follow up back over fences. INSTANT PRESENT (4) showed some decent form here early last year and looks interesting with Felix de Giles booked following 148-days off. Chasing debutante VINTACLERA (8) is of interest after a sound third in a claiming hurdle here. Another to note is INVINCIBLE POWER (3).

Was most recently at the races almost two and a half years ago. Closed the last campaign with a win in a hurdle (3600m) at Argentan. Has switched stables to the Thomas Viel yard. Worth including.

LADY MARTALINE (10) failed to follow up an impressive 15L chase success at Toulouse when runner-up in a Class Two chase at Fontainebleau last month. Looks to have been found a good opportunity to regain the winning thread back over hurdles. HOOLA HOOP (2) could prove the chief threat following a Class Three course and distance conditions hurdle third last month. HARMONIE D'AINAY (4) finished sixth in that event but is dangerous to dismiss on the strength of her chasing form. DEMOISELLE KAP (11) produced a 1.5L fourth in a Class Three hurdle at Cagnes-sur-Mer and needs each-way consideration.

GRAND PRINCE (8) looks to hold obvious claims having gone down narrowly when runner-up over course and distance on debut. Can go one place better for a leading stable. DAKAROV (9) is open to improvement upped in trip on AW debut and should be involved following a sound third in maiden company at Marseille-Borely. BASELITZ (11) has found the frame on both outings to date and looks sure to feature after a good third over this trip at Toulouse last month. The experienced GOLDENSIM (5) holds solid place claims back in maiden company following a decent handicap second here.

CRAZY LUCA (1) finished a 22L third in a Class One conditions chase at Auteuil in November. Strong claims returning to handicap company in what looks a suitable affair. ROSEMAGIC HAS (4) won a Fontainebleau conditions chase prior to disappointing in a handicap when eighth at this venue four weeks ago. Remains unexposed for a top yard and likely capable of better back over hurdles. MARY'S FORTUNE (6) finished runner-up to Rosemagic Has before disappointing in a handicap hurdle at Craon. Capable of better. ECLAIR DE VATI (10) could have more to offer on handicap bow.
