OPERA BASTILLE (9) has returned in good style this campaign over the jumps. Placed when resuming in a steeplechase (3800m) at Angers then finished second last time, beaten 3 lengths, in a steeplechase (3800m) at Angers. Sure to prove hard to beat. BEAUTYSTARS (1) had a fall from grace last start when he came to grief in a steeplechase (3500m) at Auteuil. That followed a good win two runs ago when first-up in a steeplechase (3800m) at Angers. Certainly worth another chance. EL PEDRO (8) got the prize in a hurdle (3900m) at Machecoul two runs ago then made no impression when beaten 11 lengths into sixth most recently in a hurdle (3600m) at Auteuil. Has the right credentials. CHARMINO (4) returns from a 233-day spell. Hasn't raced since he in a LR steeplechase (4500m) at Clairefontaine. Forgive the latest. Anticipating a bright start to the campaign.
