KAADAM (4) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a G3 steeplechase (4400m) at this track, finishing second when partnered by today's rider Gaetan Masure. That run was the first for the Arnaud Chaille-Chaille & Francois Pamart stable. Second-up record reads well, with two wins and zero placings from two runs. Big chance to take this out. GRAN DIOSE (1) partnered again by Thomas Beaurain who is building a great record when aboard. Will be hard to beat stepping back in grade. DIAMOND CARL (5) returns after five months in the paddock. Kicked off the last prep with a win in a 3500m steeplechase at this track by one length. Genuine jumper with eight wins to his name from 12 starts. Tough to fault. HASARD DE BRION (2) wasn't fancied but returned from a spell on March 8 with a sound third in a G3 steeplechase (4400m) at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Capable of another forward showing.
