SUN LADY MARINE (3) was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (3500m) at Auteuil. Finished third last time in a much better performance in a steeplechase (3800m) at Bordeaux, beaten 4.5 lengths. Prospects look very bright. LOUP DE MER (1) finished eighth two back in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Made amends last time to score by 5 lengths in a hurdle (3600m) at this track. Since that last run he has transferred to the David Windrif stable. Will thereabouts once more. ELTON (8) is a maiden galloper who has put together a long string of minor placings, the latest when second in a steeplechase (3400m) at Nimes. Had plenty of chances but can feature with the right run. SUPER BEND (4) was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (3400m) at Le Lion-d'angers. Found the frame last start in a much better performance in a steeplechase (3600m) at Auteuil, beaten 2 lengths. Good enough to test this field.
