JOLY GIRL (8) was unplaced two starts ago in a cross-country (5300m) at Saumur then improved last start when she finished fourth, beaten 8 lengths, in a cross-country (4600m) at Le Pin Du Haras. Likely to figure on her best figures. ETOILE DU PILORI (2) is yet to strike a blow this prep. Parted ways with the rider first-up in a cross-country (4500m) at Corlay. Followed that up with a sixth, beaten 24 lengths, in a cross-country (4700m) at Compiegne. Likely to make amends. GUMPCHOP (1) returns from a 166-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fifth in a cross-country (4900m) at Durtal, beaten 13 lengths. Ideally placed to perform well. JARDIN D'EOLE (6) is a 18-start maiden who last appeared when sixth, beaten 9 lengths, in a cross-country (4750m) at this track nearly four weeks ago. Had plenty of chances but can feature if brings best form.
