Fantasia Du Rock made fitness count when scoring over timber at Auteuil two weeks ago and has experience over fences. ECRID D'HISTOIRE landed a Grade 3 hurdle on the latter track last summer and made a very encouraging start over fences at Fontainebleau and looks the one to beat. The vastly experienced Device would have been much too good for these at his prime and should be better for a run at Auteuil earlier this month, his first for almost two years. Dieu Merci was beaten a long way into second at Toulouse but Saint Corneille had been going well before pulling up in Listed company at Auteuil in February.
