METASEQUOIA (1) wasn't far away when resuming from a layoff last start, beaten a head into second in a steeplechase (3500m) at this track. Big chance to take this out. SEL JEM (6) returns from a spell of a year. Generally goes well when resuming, with two wins and two minor placings from four first-up runs. Kicked off last prep with a sound third in a hurdle over 3800m at Compiegne. Has ability and worth including. INCOLLABLE (5) was very good when returning from a layoff most recently, scoring by 2 lengths in a hurdle (3800m) at Compiegne. Generally goes well second up, with three wins and zero placings from three runs. Capable of another forward showing. BON CONSEIL (4) has been mixing his form this preparation over the jumps. In the placings when resuming in a steeplechase (4500m) at Lignieres then finished 8 lengths from the winner last time in fifth in a steeplechase (3500m) at this track. Hard to leave out.
