Formscan - A case can be made for several of these, although none appeal more than OLITRO (12) on the evidence of his encouraging 2nd on his steeplechase debut. Versatile PAS DE QUARTER (7) will make life difficult for the selection and is another candidate for success after a recent victory over hurdles. ESPOIR DE NOEL (8) has the form and experience in this sphere to play a leading role too. HERMES SACRE (15), despite his error at Le Lion-d'Angers last time, and consistent HARESCA DU TABERT (2) also have the means to stake a claim.
