L'AMIE LARISSA (4) was well-supported when fresh from a spell last time out and making her first appearance over the obstacles. Only managed to finish 5.5 lengths away in fourth on that occasion in a hurdle (3600m) at Compiegne. The one they have to beat. VILLA LOUISE (1) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a hurdle (3600m) at Argentan. Improved and filled a minor prize last time, beaten 0.8 lengths, in a maiden hurdle (3600m) at Senonnes-Pouancé. Will take some stopping. CELESTIAL SEA (15) has not appeared since she finished seventh at her first jumps appearance in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil on September 19. Prior to that run the four-year-old had gone across to the N George & A Zetterholm stable. Improver who is among the better chances. GOLIATHS BANDIT (7) is an unraced filly. Daughter of Goliath Du Berlais from Buck's Bandit who was a GBP £ 16,000 (Goffs - UK 2024 Spring Store Sale) yearling purchase. Profiles well and comes into calculations.
