Comment: A winning hurdler (one from eight); unbeaten at this course after three runs; admirable career strike-rate (three from 12 to date); respectable fifth over 2m1½f at Auteuil (conditions chase) in October; returns from an absence here; open to progress in this code and should have every chance.

Bony And Clide

Jockey: Thomas Journiac Trainer: Philippe Peltier Age/Wt: 5/10-1 F: 16867- OR: 58

Comment: Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-11); beaten 8l four months ago when sent off 25-1 at Pau in a handicap hurdle; enhanced his record to four wins from 11 career starts last time; despite that success last time, looks an unlikely winner.
