KADOR DE CIERGUES (1) has a touch of class, with top-three form at G1 level to his name. Finds a nice race and is the one to beat. JULENALAND (5) was most recently at the races two months ago. Only appeared once when last in work and scored in a steeplechase (4100m) at Compiegne, getting home by 4 lengths. Reliable jumper with three wins to his name from eight appearances. Key runner while fresh. KASSEL ALLEN (2) was only a long neck from the winner when fourth two runs back in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Not such a happy tale last time out when he was eased out of the race in a hurdle (4300m) at this track. Can turn things around. JARDIN D'ARTHEL (4) returned from a spell last start with a strong second in a steeplechase (4200m) at Moulins. Capable of another forward showing.
