IVOIRE DE BALLON (3) is a talented jumper who lost the rider in a cross-country (4700m) at Moulins two runs ago. Turned things around and won by 2.5 lengths in a cross-country (4750m) at Senonnes-Pouancé most recently. Can add to the recent impressive result. ILOA CONTI (5) is a fine jumper who has been flawless in recent runs. Closed last prep with a win in a cross-country (5000m) at Pompadour. Resumed last start and again got the job done, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a cross-country (4750m) at Senonnes-Pouancé. Hard to fault and must be included. IN CAPRI (4) scored in a cross-country (4700m) at Moulins two starts back then did a fair job last time, beaten 3 lengths into fourth in a cross-country (5200m) at Strasbourg. Good enough to turn things around. FORTASTA (8) returned from a spell last start with a modest fourth in a cross-country (4600m) at Cluny. That run was the first for the Emmanuel Sayet yard. Will come on from that run and is worth considering.
