SANTANA BEACH (2) was far too good when resuming from a 126-day layoff last start, scoring by 20 lengths in a steeplechase (3700m) at Angers. Strips fitter and is again a top chance. BAHYADAME (7) finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a steeplechase (3500m) at this track with today's rider Gaetan Masure aboard. That run was the first for the Arnaud Chaille-Chaille & Francois Pamart yard. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal. ALTURA (8) is resuming after a lengthy spell. Had just the one run last campaign, finishing sixth in a hurdle (3500m) at this track. Sure to make her presence felt. BEST OF US (4) looking to go a couple better after filling a minor placing in a G3 hurdle (3400m) at Compiegne last time out on November 29. Genuine threat in this grade.
