Formscan - Classy top-weight GOLD TWEET (1) is a genuine Group I Paris Grand-Steeple Chase contender but also boasts sound references over hurdles, so could be worth siding with in this Listed race. GUARANA (6), unbeaten in two starts on this course, won a 3600m Listed race at this venue last year and looks the type to progress this season. She could pose a threat if ready to go on her reappearance, while last-start steeplechase winner INSTAR DE REVE (7) also has legitimate claims on his return to the hurdles category. Maturing ITAL CONTI (5) and the unexposed PARI D'AMIS (10) complete the shortlist.
