KAWARETH (1) was most recently at the races five months ago. Launched the last campaign with a win in a 1800m flat race at Fontainebleau, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Leading contender - bold showing expected. IRMINA (5) wasn't far from the placegetters when resuming from a 183-day layoff on the flat last start, beaten 8 lengths into seventh at Chatillon-Chalaronne over 2600m. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal. KREEDENCE (7) was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (4000m) at Le Lion-d'angers. Filled a minor prize last time in a much better performance in a hurdle (3800m) at Vitre, beaten 5 lengths. Expecting a bold run. KRAKEN (4) has not appeared since he pulled up at his first jumps appearance in a steeplechase (4400m) at Auteuil. Sound prospects this time.
