LE GALLI BIER (11) did well to finish second two back in a steeplechase (3600m) at Fontainebleau then ran a nice race last time found one better in a hurdle (3560m) at this track 22 days ago, 14 lengths behind the winner. Looks very hard to beat in this sort of form. MAILLOT VERT (6) returns from a spell of about 18 months. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs, last campaign opening with a third in a hurdle at Fontainebleau over 3550m. Has found the right race and can play a major role. JOHN THE SPARK (3) was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4000m) at Fairyhouse. Finished third last start in a much better performance in a maiden hurdle (4000m) at Fairyhouse, beaten 10 lengths. Not to be taken lightly. SONIFICATION (7) missed the frame two runs ago in a hurdle (4000m) at Sandown Park then could only manage ninth last time in a hurdle (4550m) at Kelso. Worth serious consideration.
