POLO ET MARIE (2) is looking to go a couple better after filling a minor placing in a steeplechase (3900m) at this track last time out on March 24. Tackles a better race this time but is up to the task. SIR MARVEL (1) opened the campaign with a respectable second in a steeplechase (3450m) at this track then last start kept the ball rolling when second in a steeplechase (3900m) at this track 29 days ago. Hard to fault on his recent form. HARLEM SCHUFFLE (4) last raced when third in a hurdle (3300m) at Strasbourg on 22/03/2025, beaten 20 lengths. Sure to make his presence felt. LOLITA DES MOTTES (7) did a good job to finish second two back in a steeplechase (3500m) at Toulouse. Improved to record a win in a steeplechase (3850m) at this track 20 days ago, arriving a long neck ahead of her rivals. Expect the good recent form will stack up.
