KINGSCLUB (9) has returned in good order this prep over the jumps. Placed when resuming in a hurdle (3500m) at Moulins then was again in the money last time, beaten 4 lengths, in a hurdle (3500m) at Nantes. Looks very hard to beat in this sort of form. LA VANILLE (7) has been going well. Did a good job second last start in a steeplechase (3600m) at this track after she scored in a hurdle (3550m) at this track the run before. Right in the mix. KIFF ME FIVE (6) returns from a 156-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fourth in a hurdle (3400m) at Compiegne, beaten 10 lengths. Already a winner over the obstacles. Sure to be primed and expected to be thereabouts. KASHS (1) is very fit after two runs back from a break. Finished in the placings last start in a steeplechase (3700m) at Angers after a good win by 7 lengths in a G2 steeplechase (3500m) at Pisa when resuming. Not to be taken lightly.
