KOCOTTE MAG (9) is a very good fresh performer returning from a layoff of about 18 months. Kicked off with a minor placing at Dax in a steeplechase when last in work. Well placed and expected to be tough to beat. ROSE ROUGE (5) turned in a nice effort on debut last start in a hurdle (3500m) at this track, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in second. Same rider Manon Doudard aboard. Has upside and worth following up. DEMON VERT (3) returns after a spell of three months. Opened the last campaign with a sound second in a 3700m steeplechase at Clairefontaine, beaten 1.3 lengths. Yet to miss a top-three finish from three first-up runs. Sure to make his presence felt. KLOVIS BLEUE (1) is taking on the jumps for a second time after he lost the rider at his first attempt in a hurdle (3500m) at this track nearly four weeks ago. Solid top-three hope.
