AMARNA (1) returns from a 63-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a win in a hurdle (3550m) at Fontainebleau, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Well-placed here and sure to be tough to beat. LE CHAMP DU CYGNE (3) did fairly well when he finished second in a hurdle (3550m) at Fontainebleau two runs back. Improved sharply to score a highly impressive win by 12 lengths last time out in a hurdle (3500m) at Moulins. Likely to be thereabouts. AVITCHI (2) took a tumble in a steeplechase (3900m) at this track two starts back. Atoned for that run last time when he found one better, beaten a neck, in a hurdle (3300m) at this track. Hard to fault on that most recent effort. LADY ANGE WIN (6) finished second two back in a hurdle (3300m) at this track then again ran a good race to finish third last time out, beaten a long neck, in a hurdle (3300m) at this track. Will be a force once again.
