LOSANGE BLEU (1) returns from a break of four months. Generally goes well when fresh, with three wins and a placing from five first-up runs. Kicked off last prep successfully in a this track hurdle over 3900m. Can return in winning form. NYIRI (2) last appeared when he was successful in a LR hurdle (4300m) at this track on 2/03/2025, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Partnered again by Ludovic Philipperon who is building a great record when aboard. Genuine threat. SQUARE SAINT ROCH (7) has a strong affinity with Gaetan Masure who keeps the ride. One of the leading contenders. CUNCERTO (4) looking to go a couple better after filling a minor placing in a G2 hurdle (4300m) at this track last time out on December 8. Sure to make his presence felt.
