HAUT LES COEURS (3) finished sixth two back in a steeplechase (4100m) at Lyon-Parilly. Made amends last time to fill a minor placing, beaten a head, in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Major player again. FIRST POLAR (2) finished sixth two back in a LR steeplechase (3500m) at Treviso. Atoned for that run last time to greet the judge by a head in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Will thereabouts once more. LES MOTS BLEUS (10) has been going well. Scored in a steeplechase (3800m) at Fougeres two starts back then finished second last time, beaten 3.5 lengths, in a steeplechase (3800m) at Pontivy. Ready to run a big race. HALITE (5) has failed to figure of late. Last time out he could only manage fourth in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. That came after he was pulled up in a steeplechase (3800m) at Compiegne.
