CADELO (3) debuted in a hurdle (3700m) at Le Lion-d'angers last start and was friendless in betting but proved too strong, scoring by 7 lengths. Leading chance again. LA VALETTE (8) opened the campaign with a solid second in a hurdle (3550m) at Fontainebleau then last start kept the ball rolling when third in a hurdle (3550m) at Fontainebleau 24 days ago. Hard to fault on her recent form. LENZA CONTI (6) is a accomplished jumper who was eased out of the race in a hurdle (3500m) at Auteuil two starts ago. Bounced back and saluted by half a length in a hurdle (3500m) at this track most recently. Sure to run well again. LA LOIRE (1) has impressed at both runs this prep. Won first up in a hurdle (3500m) at this track then filled a minor placing 34 days ago in a steeplechase (3800m) at this track. Sure to be thereabouts.
