AGADOR (6) stands out as the most successful runner in the lineup. He returns from a break but needn't run to his rating to make a winning reappearance. Efficient in testing conditions, hard-knocking handicapper CHERGUI (2) is ideally engaged and will make life difficult for the selection. Fast-finisher MEXICAN DREAM (3) and recent hat-trick scorer NANTMOR (1), whose last victory was in a course-and-distance event earlier this month, complete the shortlist.

After finishing 2nd in her first appearance at this level last time, nothing stands in the way of TARA KIND (3) going one better. She should again have the measure of GUSTAPOF (2), who should hold her own nonetheless. DIOSES PAREDROS (4) finished 2nd in a claiming hurdle last month and could trouble the principals if confirming that improvement over the larger obstacles. LESBOS DES MOTTES (1) appeals most of the remainder.

KORRAL (2) opened his account with an authoritative course-and-distance steeplechase victory last month and needs only to repeat that performance to win again. PESO DI LEGNO (1) finished 2nd behind the selection but is worse off at the weights so VIRTUOSE (8), who was still well in contention at the time of his fall in the reference event, could emerge as an even bigger threat. KASTLE PONTADOUR (6) is competitive for the minors.

LERIKA (5) showed enough in her first start over obstacles when finishing 3rd in a hurdles event here earlier this month. She needn't improve much on that performance to fight for victory. LES FLOTS BLEUS (3) also finished 3rd in a hurdles race here last month and will play a leading role if repeating that performance. Class-dropper LADOUCEFOLIE (4) and SPRING WAY (10) appeal most of the remainder.

REMEMBER CALI (3) won by 7.5L over hurdles at this track on December 31st and will be expected to follow up on that facile success. LIVERPOOL SIVOLA (8) has a taking profile and hails from a strong stable that can prepare a newcomer to strike at the first time of asking. LORD DES PLACES (9) is a stablemate of the latter mentioned and also looks the part on breeding. The betting can be the best guide to his expected performance. FILIPPINO (5) is also interesting on debut.

He was third at this track recently in a Class 4 race 6 days ago. EL KALBITO (7) was back in fifth just over one length behind her 6 days ago and can make the top three.

LOVELY GINO (3) caught the eye when he was a nice sixth on his sole start at this track earlier this month. He will strip fitter for that experience and is a marginal choice ahead of LAUREAT D ' ATHOU (1) who was narrowly ahead in fifth in the same race 21 days ago. Both horses can make good progress from their debut starts. LUTECE D'ARTHEL (9) showed ability on the flat and is one to pay attention to on her hurdling debut. LORD BRETT (2) heads the rest.

TRADE HONOR (7) has been knocking at the door on his last two runs when second on both starts. He is the tentative selection in an open race. BAFFI (2) could be the main danger. He was a pleasing second at Pornichet 18 days ago and has several placed efforts last year over various trips. COSMOPOLITAINE (10) could be a good option for the each-way backers. CHAI D'OEUVRE (4) should have a say in proceedings.
