FEENGROTTEN (8) was making his jumps debut last start when fresh from a spell. Met with a solid push in betting on that occasion and finished seventh, beaten 5 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Quality flat performer prior to the transition to jumping. The one they have to beat. SIEG KRONE (7) returns from a 77-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, beaten 1.3 lengths. Sure to make his presence felt. NAMURA DORGI (5) is still a maiden after 14 starts but managed to finish third last time out in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Struggling to break through but has ability and among the hopes this line-up. SUNNY OCEAN (2) returns from a 78-day spell. Hasn't raced since he in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Yet to win over the obstacles from five attempts. Sure to make his presence felt.
